Autumn Snack Mix

Autumn Snack Mix in a brown bowl

The Autumn snack mix has the perfect combination of sweet and salty that is kissed with a bit of cinnamon.  The cinnamon flavored glaze is the perfect coating to give the fall feel . Let’s talk about candy corns, even if you hate them you will love this snack mix. You know autumn has arrived when candy corns pop up in the super markets and in my opinion life isn’t worth living without candy corns. This makes the perfect snack for fall parties , football game snacks or even Halloween favors . If you love snacks you have to check out these Air Fryer Ravioli.

Let’s Make Autumn Candy Corn M&M snack mix!

So this is super easy to throw together and even kids can help. Start off by preheating your oven to 250 and mix your cereal, bugles, peanuts, and pretzels.

 

 

 

Combine the butter and sugar in a medium saucepan and heat on medium heat. Once the sugar has dissolved and it comes to a boil remove from the heat

Remove from heat and add vanilla .

 

 

 

 

 

Pour the sugar mixture over the cereal mix and coat really well

 

I use a large roasting pan but you can use 2 cookie sheets to bake this mixture. Bake for 45 minutes stirring every 15 minutes making sure everything stays nice and coated

 

Once the mixture has baked for 45 minutes let it completely cool. Now add candy corn mix , M&Ms , and Bugles.

 

 

 

ENJOY!!

I let my little ones put this together themselves and they get a kick out it- no one likes the big pumpkin candies so we use extra candy corn and they devour it with their friends on trick or treating breaks.

This is the perfect Fall sweet & salty snack. It was a hit at the party. Next time I think I might eliminate the cinnamon for a different take.
