Talk about a fun and festive recipe! This Halloween Snack Mix will have everyone grabbing a handful every time they walk by. The best part about making this party mix is that it’s 3 ingredients – and no baking required!
Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best recipes. When you find a Halloween trail mix recipe that tastes this good, why would you not want to make it? It literally tastes like a candy bar!
This is a 3 ingredient snack mix that tastes like a chewy crunchy Payday candy bar! It’s delicious and easy to make – everyone loves it!
Halloween Snack Mix Ingredients
- Candy corn – I just use the regular candy corn, but there are so many flavored options now that could be good, too! You could even use the candy pumpkins.
- Peanuts – It’s up to you if you want to use salted or unsalted peanuts.
- Rice Krispies Treats – Buy them premade to save on time.
How to Make Halloween Snack Mix
- Add the candy corn and the peanuts into a bowl. Mix.
- Cut up the Rice Krispie Treats into 24 small pieces and mix them into the candy corn mixture.
- Serve!
Pro Tip
If you get salted peanuts to combine with the other ingredients, the party mix recipe is going to taste identical to a PayDay candy bar!
FAQs
As long as you store this mixture in an airtight container, it will last for up to 2 weeks! It can be kept at room temperature without issue.
Absolutely! You can easily double or triple this recipe without any problems at all. This makes it super simple to make for a group!
You can also halve the recipe easily. I do this sometimes when it’s just me snacking on it – because otherwise, I’ll eat the entire batch.
I’ve only ever added peanuts because I really love the taste and flavor. But I do think that other nuts would taste great. Cashews are always a great idea, and walnuts are a winning choice as well.
I would stay away from harder nuts like almonds just because some people may not like the hard texture.

Easy Halloween Snack Mix is the perfect party recipe! It’s semi-homemade with just 3 ingredients and tastes like a candy bar. This is such an easy recipe!
How cute for any Halloween festivities ( or just the season!). You are so clever!
I want to hug that little cauldron you used in your photos! What a great snack mix! I’d add in some extra chocolate since that’s how I roll. 🙂
Genius use of RKTreats! And yes the peanuts/candycorn trick. I learned about that one back in the early days of blogging too and yes it swayed me from meh about candy corn to always a fan. You know what else I’ve never thought to use candy corn for…that bonking feeling at about mile 10 of a marathon when I normally eat Swedish Fish. Next race I’m also bringing candy corn…tastes WAY better than gel shots!
Haha I’m sure most things would taste better than a gel shot!! LOL
Oh a three ingredient snack mix? Count me in! This looks so addicting, Dorothy! Love the rice krispie treats in here!
I totally hear ya. I miss the days of having no real treats in the house. Now I feel angry if I somehow run out of tricked-out dessert.
Speaking of bomb dot com, this is what your snack mix here is. It’s perfect!!
