Equipment

Microwave Safe Bowl
Rimmed Baking Sheet
Parchment Paper

Ingredients

1 16 ounce container Chocolate Candy Coating
1 box Chocolate Chex Cereal
3 cups Mini Pretzel Twists
2 bags Halloween M&M's
1 bag Harvest Candy Corn
2 tablespoons Halloween Sprinkles
Candy Eyes

Instructions

Prep. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment and set it to the side.
Melt the chocolate. In a microwave-safe bowl or the original container, follow the package instructions to melt the chocolate candy coating. Typically, this involves microwaving it for around 2 minutes, making sure to stir every 30 seconds until it becomes smooth and fully melted. Be cautious not to overheat the candy coating, as excessive heat can cause it to scorch and thicken to a point where it won't coat the mix evenly.
Coat the cereal. Place the Chex cereal in a large bowl and pour the melted chocolate on top. Toss to coat the cereal evenly. Pour the coated cereal out onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it in an even layer.
Layer on the mix-ins. Spread the remaining ingredients on top starting with the largest items such as the pretzels and finishing with the smallest such as the sprinkles.

Notes

Work quickly. Once you've melted the chocolate you will need to work quickly so it doesn't harden too fast. The chocolate is used to hold the other mix-ins together.

Stir gently. When combining the candy coating with the cereal, stir gently and thoroughly to ensure an even coating, but also to avoid breaking the cereal pieces. A rubber spatula can be useful for this.

Cool completely. After mixing, spread the snack mix on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and allow it to cool completely. This helps the coating set and ensures a crunchy texture.

Get creative. Have fun with the process! Decorating the mix with additional Halloween-themed sprinkles or edible eyes can add a whimsical and spooky touch to your creation.
