Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 1 cup Candy-coated chocolates (like M&Ms)
- 1 cup Candy corn
- 1 cup Salted peanuts
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 3 cups Mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Halloween sprinkles
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, mini pretzels, candy-coated chocolates, candy corn, and salted peanuts. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter.
Add the mini marshmallows to the saucepan and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Quickly pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal mix in the large bowl.
Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the mixture to evenly coat all the dry ingredients with the marshmallow mixture.
Spread the coated mixture onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Sprinkle Halloween sprinkles generously over the mix while it’s still sticky.
Let the mixture sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, or until the marshmallow coating has set.
Once set, break the mix into smaller clusters and transfer to a serving bowl or airtight container for storage.
