This easy no-bake Halloween snack mix is a sweet and salty party treat that comes together in under 10 minutes. It’s perfect for last-minute Halloween parties, classroom celebrations, or a festive movie night.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups mini pretzel twists
  • 2 cups Chex cereal (rice or corn)
  • 1 cup salted peanuts
  • 1 cup candy corn
  • 1 cup candy pumpkins (autumn mix)
  • 1 cup white chocolate melting wafers
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, divided
  • 1/4 cup Halloween sprinkles
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups mini pretzel twists, 2 cups Chex cereal, 1 cup salted peanuts, 1 cup candy corn, and 1 cup candy pumpkins. Toss gently to distribute evenly.
  3. Place 1 cup white chocolate melting wafers and 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted (about 60-80 seconds total).
  4. Pour the melted white chocolate over the dry ingredients. Gently fold and toss with a spatula until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Transfer the coated mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread in an even layer. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.
  6. While the mix chills, place 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil in another small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth (about 40-60 seconds).
  7. Remove the baking sheet from the fridge. Transfer the melted semi-sweet chocolate to a small piping bag or a zip-top bag with a tiny corner snipped off. Drizzle the chocolate over the snack mix in a zigzag pattern.
  8. Immediately sprinkle with 1/4 cup Halloween sprinkles and 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt (if using).
  9. Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate drizzle is firm.
  10. Once fully set, break the snack mix into clusters. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

Notes

Don’t skip the chilling steps. If you drizzle the semi-sweet chocolate while the white chocolate is still warm, the colors will blend into a muddy mess. For best results, make this a day ahead to allow flavors to meld. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
