Notes
- Cereal: Feel free to adjust the amount of cereal to your liking (i.e. 3 cups of Chex and 1 cup of Cheerios).
- Peanuts: You can use an additional cup of cereal in place of the peanuts. Or you can substitute 1 cup of pretzels for the peanuts. Also, I like to use salted peanuts for a salty/sweet combo.
- Candy: Autumn candy mix is a mix of candy corns and candy pumpkins. You can use a mix of all candy corn or all pumpkins if you prefer.
