Ghostly Snack Mix

This post and recipe was created for #HalloweenTreatsWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.

Ghostly Snack Mix – the cutest Halloween snack mix with chocolate covered ghost pretzels, Bugles, peanuts, M&Ms, and candy corn!

Happy #HalloweenTreatsWeek! 

The lovely Angie at Big Bear’s Wife organizes this event every year and every year I get so excited to participate. All the other participating bloggers are linked below.

Today I’m sharing this Ghostly Snack Mix made with super cute ghost pretzels, a couple salty things, and some Halloween candy. It’s so cute and so tasty!

Ingredients

• White chocolate
• White chocolate covered pretzels
• Candy eyeballs
• Bugles – you can also use Fritos or other salty corn based chip
• Dry roasted salted peanuts 
• Halloween colored M&Ms
• Candy corn

How To Make Pretzel Ghosts

This is my biggest tip for these: start with white chocolate covered pretzels! Don’t dip your own pretzels. 

• Melt white chocolate until smooth
• Dip tops of pretzels in the melted white chocolate
• Quickly top with candy eyes
• Let cool completely on parchment or wax paper 

How To Make Ghostly Snack Mix

• Combine cooled ghost pretzels, Bugles, peanuts, M&Ms, and candy corn in a large mixing bowl
• Toss gently to combine

How Long Is It Good For?

Homemade snack mix is good for several weeks (I usually say 2 weeks just to be safe) if stored in an airtight container. It should be fine at room temperature but if you notice the chocolate melted, you may need to move it to the fridge. 

I like this large glass airtight jar because it holds a couple batches of snack mix (I live with 4 boys, don’t judge me) and it looks super cute and Halloween-y on the counter full of all the ghost pretzels.

An airtight plastic storage container or a big ziploc bag with all the air squeezed out also works.
