Hey everyone! So, this snack mix, it’s the absolute perfect combination of all things salty and sweet! It might sound a little odd with bugles, and cereal. But it’s not, promise I wouldn’t lead you wrong!
I’ll be honest. Not a huge candy corn girl. I loved it as a kid, but now it’s just not my thing.
BUT, then I was just shopping at Target, minding my own business when I see nothing other but apple mix candy corn staring me down from the Halloween candy aisle! Obviously, I had to get some and see what it was all about.
Well, I’m pretty much in love. I could and did eat by the handful for a few days. I liked it so much that I wanted to do something with it!
Snack mix seemed perfect, everyone loves it. It’s quick and easy to make, and portable for all of those fall parties that are going on!
Let’s talk about some tips for success when making this snack mix!
-
You’ll need a GIANT bowl to mix all of the goodies together with the brown sugar coating. If you don’t have a bowl big enough, you can use two, or simply mix everything together on the baking sheet.
-
I am able to get this all onto one very large baking sheet, you may need to use two. If it’s not in a single layer, that’s ok because you’ll be stirring it during cooking.
-
Make sure you don’t add the candy corn in until after the snack mix has come out of the oven and cooled. If you do, it will melt!
-
I like to line my pans with parchment paper for easy clean up and less chance of sticking. You can also use foil coated with non stick cooking spray if you’d like.
Enjoy this easy recipe, and you can find a link to the apple mix candy corn below, in case you can’t find it in your local store!
