Sweet & Salty Halloween Snack Mix

This sweet and salty Halloween snack mix is just a dump and go recipe. No prep needed and just five ingredients.

Snack season is here. Just kidding. Every season is snack season.

This Halloween snack mix is super easy to make. Just open the packages and dump them in a bowl. I measured to get a good ratio of sweet to salty, but you can eyeball it if you prefer.

The chocolate Chex aren’t super sweet and taste like cocoa powder. I love these mini pretzels. They’re the perfect size for this and don’t overwhelm the other ingredients. I believe the pumpkin pie M&Ms and Reese’s mini pumpkins are new for 2026. If you can’t find them, use regular M&Ms and mini peanut butter cups.

Like most snack mixes, this one is easy to swap out. Although I can’t vouch for every flavor combo, feel free to swap:

• Use a Halloween cereal for a sweeter mix.
• Swap for your favorite Halloween chocolates.
• Skip the peanuts if you’re allergic or add mixed tree nuts if you’re not.

I made this recipe in a small batch to serve 2 to 4 people. You can easily double it (or even more) for a party.
