Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups pretzel sticks (about 150g)
- 3 cups Chex cereal (about 90g)
- 1 cup mini pretzel twists (about 70g)
- 1/2 cup Halloween candy corn (about 85g, optional)
- 1 cup milk chocolate melting wafers (about 180g)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate melting wafers (about 90g)
- 1/4 cup candy eyes (about 30g)
- 1 cup pumpkin-shaped pretzels (about 60g)
- 2 tablespoons Halloween sprinkles
- 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine pretzel sticks, Chex cereal, mini pretzel twists, candy corn (if using), and pumpkin-shaped pretzels. Toss gently.
- Melt milk chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring after each, until smooth (about 1.5-2 minutes). Add coconut oil if desired.
- Pour melted milk chocolate over dry ingredients and fold gently with a silicone spatula until evenly coated.
- Spread the coated mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
- While chocolate is still wet, scatter candy eyes and Halloween sprinkles over the top, pressing gently to adhere.
- Melt white chocolate wafers in a separate bowl using the same method (30-second intervals at 50% power).
- Transfer melted white chocolate to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a tiny corner snipped off. Drizzle in a zigzag pattern over the mix.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the entire mix while chocolate is still wet.
- Let the mix set at room temperature for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or refrigerate for 20 minutes until firm.
- Once set, break into clusters by hand and transfer to a serving bowl.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days. Do not refrigerate unless kitchen is very warm. The mix tastes even better after a day or two. For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free dark chocolate chips and vegan white chocolate.
