This Halloween Trail Mix is the perfect “grab and go” treat for movie marathons, trick-or-treat prep, or sneaking a handful when no one’s looking. It’s got everything—soft marshmallows, chewy fruit, crunchy nuts, and gooey candy bits—for that perfect mix of textures and flavors. It’s festive, fast, and frighteningly good!
Ingredients (makes 3–4 cups): • 1 bag mini Halloween marshmallows • 1 cup raisins • 1 cup fun-size candy bars, chopped (Snickers, Milky Way, or Baby Ruth) • ½ cup dried cranberries • ½ cup walnuts
Instructions: 1. In a large bowl, mix together marshmallows, raisins, chopped candy, cranberries, and walnuts. 2. Give it a good toss and try not to eat it all before you serve it! 3. Store in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
🎃 Halloween Fact: Trick-or-treating didn’t originally involve candy! Early Halloween treats included fruits, nuts, and small toys—candy only took over in the 1950s when chocolate companies saw the (sweet) opportunity.
👻 Spooky Serving Idea: Serve your trail mix in black cauldrons, orange cupcake liners, or little treat bags tied with twine and googly eyes. For a pop of color, toss in a few candy corn pieces or orange-and-black M&Ms before serving!
