Base Ingredients
- 2 cups chocolate-covered pretzels (or dark chocolate pretzel twists)
- ½ cup popcorn (air-popped or lightly salted)
Sweet Mix-Ins
- 1 ½ cups red candy-coated chocolate (like red M&Ms)
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup yogurt-covered raisins
- 1 cup gummy fangs or gummy worms
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup candy eyeballs
- ½ cup dried cherries
Instructions
- Prepare Your Bowl: Start with a large mixing bowl and make sure your work surface is clean to keep your trail mix fresh and free from contaminants.
- Add Base Ingredients: Place the chocolate-covered pretzels and popcorn into the bowl to create a crunchy, salty base for the trail mix.
- Mix in Sweet Chocolates and Fruits: Add the red candy-coated chocolates, yogurt-covered raisins, and dried cranberries to the base mixture for bursts of sweetness and chewiness.
- Add Gummy Candies and Marshmallows: Toss in the gummy fangs or gummy worms and mini marshmallows to add a fun and spooky texture to the mix.
- Finish with Chocolate Chips and Dried Cherries: Sprinkle in the chocolate chips and dried cherries to balance the flavors and add richness and tartness to the trail mix.
- Toss Gently: Using a spatula, gently mix all the ingredients together until they are evenly distributed without crushing the pretzels or popcorn.
- Serve or Store: Serve the trail mix immediately in Halloween-themed cups for a festive presentation, or store it in airtight containers to keep it fresh until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Chocolate-covered pretzels provide a perfect sweet and salty crunch, but you can substitute with regular pretzels if preferred.
- Use air-popped popcorn to control salt content, or lightly salted popcorn for a more savory touch.
- Mix the trail mix gently to prevent breaking the pretzels and popcorn.
- This trail mix can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- Feel free to swap gummy fangs with gummy worms or other Halloween-themed candies for variety.
- Adjust the amount of candy eyeballs for a spookier presentation without overpowering the mix.
