Pumpkin Spice Snack Mix
Description
This recipe brings together toasted nuts and pretzels coated with a blend of melted butter, brown and granulated sugars, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to create a sweet, spiced coating. The coated mixture is spread on a baking sheet and baked to develop a crisp texture, stirring during baking to ensure even coloring. After cooling, seasonal candies such as candy corn, candy pumpkins, and Reese's Pieces are folded in, adding chewy and sweet bursts alongside the crunchy nuts and pretzels.
The snack mix presents a layered texture of crunchy nuts and pretzels contrasted with soft candy pieces. The pumpkin pie spice adds distinct seasonal warmth without overpowering the inherent nutty flavors. It makes a festive snack suitable for fall or holiday gatherings that also stores well in an airtight container for up to a week.
