Ingredients

Scale

Base Mix

  • 5 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 2 cups pretzel twists

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips or white candy melts
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Add-Ins and Decoration

  • 1 cup candy corn
  • 1 cup Reese’s Pieces
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • Optional Halloween-themed sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Combine base ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal and pretzel twists to form the crunchy base of the mix.
  2. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the white chocolate chips or candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
  3. Add pumpkin spice: Stir the pumpkin pie spice into the melted white chocolate to infuse it with warm fall flavors.
  4. Coat the cereal and pretzels: Pour the flavored melted chocolate over the Rice Chex and pretzels, gently folding and stirring to coat everything evenly without breaking the pieces.
  5. Optional powdered sugar coating: Sprinkle the powdered sugar over the coated mixture and toss gently to create a light, sweet powdered finish.
  6. Set the mixture: Spread the coated mix evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow it to set at room temperature for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
  7. Add candies and final toss: Once set, add the candy corn, Reese’s Pieces, mini marshmallows, and optional Halloween sprinkles. Toss gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
  8. Store: Transfer the buddy mix to an airtight container to keep fresh until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Customize the mix by swapping your favorite Halloween candies like chocolate chips, M&Ms, or nuts.
  • Milk or dark chocolate can be used instead of white chocolate for a different flavor profile.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to one week to maintain freshness and crunch.
  • This mix makes a festive party snack or a charming homemade gift in treat bags.
