Notes
- Chex Mix - while I like to use Chex Mix in this recipe, you could also just use a combination of a variety of different Chex cereal since you're already doing chocolate covered pretzels as well.
- Also, I used original Chex Mix, but I've tried this with the cheesy Chex Mix as well and that works too, plus the cheese flavor works well with the caramel corn! I've also use a combo of Rice Chex and Corn Chex - also a good option!
- Candy corn and pumpkins - you can either grab the fall mix that comes with regular candy corn, chocolate candy corn, and candy pumpkins or just buy your favorite of the three and add them in. I like the combo of all three but know some people don't love the chocolate candy corn that normally comes in Harvest snack mix.
- Or if you don't like candy corn or know someone who isn't a candy corn fan, you can always omit the candy corn mix all together but it really does give this easy snack mix a fall vibe!
- Caramel popcorn - I used just regular boxed Crunch & Munch caramel popcorn in this, but you could totally use any sort of caramel popcorn or even Kettle corn you want! Or if you don't want sweet and would prefer a little more salty, you could go with cheddar popcorn instead!
- Peanut butter cups - this is best with the mini Reese's peanut butter cups that are already unwrapped (those are also really good in this peanut butter pie) because they're smaller than normal cups! And small things are best in a snack mix!
- But if you can't find those, you can always just cut up peanut butter cups or omit the Reese's peanut butter cups and increase the amount of Reese's Pieces instead.
- Chocolate chips - I used white in my mix but you could easily use white, milk, and/or dark chocolate chips. I just like the white for the pop of color! Another good option if you don't want to do more chocolate but still want the white color would be mini marshmallows!
- Chocolate covered pretzels - same as the chocolate chips, you can use any combination of white, milk, and dark chocolate pretzels in this. I like using at least white plus one other for a good variety of colors!
- Reese's Pieces - these are the perfect choice for this fall snack mix simply because they're naturally colored like fall! You could also substitute or add fall colored M&Ms, Sixlets, or any other colored chocolate candies as well.
