Pumpkin Spice Snack Mix

If you know me, you know I’ve got a thing for festive snack mixes. No matter the occasion, I could probably come up with a festive snack mix to compliment it. I love making them and, of course, eating them! They’re so perfect for parties or just to have in a jar on the kitchen counter to snack on throughout the season.

My candy coated snack mixes are always a huge hit and it’s about time I created this pumpkin spice spin on my favorite snack mix.

With pumpkin spice Cheerios, pumpkin pie M&M’s and pumpkin spiced pumpkin seeds, it’s got the pumpkin spice flavor going on in every blissful bite. The pretzels add saltiness while the pumpkin shaped candy gives a cute sweet chew.

You just melt the candy coating and toss the Chex cereal evenly in it before spreading the cereal out and topping it with all of the other goodies. That’s all there is to it!

What Do I Need to Make Pumpkin Spice Snack Mix?

How to Make Pumpkin Spice Snack Mix

  • In a large bowl, add the Chex cereal.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, melt the candy coating according to package directions, usually 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth.

Hot Tip!

Be sure not to over-melt the candy coating!  It will burn and become too thick to stir and coat the mix evenly. Go slowly, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.

  • Pour the melted candy coating over the Chex cereal in the large bowl and toss to coat with a large spoon. Cereal should be evenly coated in the candy coating.
  • Spread the coated cereal in an even layer on parchment paper. Immediately sprinkle with the pumpkin seeds and then the remaining ingredients.
  • Allow mixture to cool completely. Break apart to serve. Store in an airtight container or baggie.
