Halloween Pumpkin Spice Snack Mix is the perfect fall treat recipe- easy to put together with all your favorite autumn flavors!
I have the cutest (and easiest) Halloween treat recipe for you all today! Last week I whipped up this fall snack mix for my three boys as an after school surprise and I kid you not-it lasted all of a half hour before they had eaten the entire bowl. (I may have helped a little!)
Like any good snack mix this recipe has it all-salty, sweet and since it's an autumn version of course it has Pumpkin Spice!!

Ingredients
- Cinnamon Toast Crunch
- popcorn
- mini pretzels
- butter
- light brown sugar
- vanilla extract
- pumpkin pie spice
- pumpkin pie M&Ms
- mini marshmallows
- pumpkin pie flavored morsels (use white chocolate if you can't find pumpkin pie)
Step by step
- Preheat oven to 300F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl mix together the cereal, popcorn, and mini pretzels.
- In a separate bowl combine melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir to mix.
- Spread the mix on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes.
- Optional: draw skeleton faces on mini marshmallows.
- Allow the snack mix to cool completely, then transfer to a bowl, add marshmallows, M&Ms, and morsels and stir to mix.
I made it extra fun by using an edible pen to draw little skull faces on some of the mini marshmallows for Halloween and it was hilarious how much my kids liked that little extra touch!
Variations
- Add in candy pumpkins, candy corn, or change up the flavor of M&Ms or morsels
- use pretzel sticks instead of mini pretzels
- substitute Chex or Bugles for the cereal
- add in salted peanuts, raisins, or craisins
Storage
Store snack mix in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.
I think I'm due for another batch of this snack mix already!
