Super Easy Halloween Party Mix

by on 2,014 Comments

I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve posted a recipe on this blog.  Heck, I can even count on one finger, because it’s happened exactly one time — when I posted the recipe for the Best Brownies You Will Ever Eat.  I still stand by that statement.

I hate baking and cooking.  I hate the preparation and the clean up.  I also really hate pictures of food.  Am I the only one bothered by the photos friends post of their dinner on Facebook?

But, there is one thing I know how to do in the kitchen and I do it well – mixing bags of junk food together into one large bowl.

Four or five years ago, I went to a Halloween party at my friend Zoe’s house.  She had out on the counter the most magical bowl of party snacks I’d ever eaten – the perfect mix of salty and sweet.  If I didn’t have more control of myself, I would have just completely shoved my head into the bowl.

About this time every year, I gorge myself on the magical treat.  Then I feel so sick when I think about it that I have to wait an entire year to have it again.  I have no shame.

Are you ready for this?

Here’s my “recipe” of the year:

1.  Pour one bag of Chex Mix (the Traditional flavor) in a large bowl.
2.  Pour one bag of candy corn (or Autumn Mix) into the same bowl.
3.  Stir until well mixed.
4.  Grab a handful and shove into your mouth.
5.  Lock the rest of it in a safe and hide the key.

I know that this isn’t a super secret recipe, but I had never heard about it until Zoe put it together for her party.  I’ve seen lots of recipes for other Chex Mix/candy corn party mixes, but they usually require you to at least use a microwave to melt some chocolate.  There is seriously no need.  The candy corn are already so sugary (okay, corn syrupy) sweet that you don’t need anything extra.

But, I am totally serious about keeping it under lock and key so you don’t eat too much.  It’s possible that I may no longer fit into my jeans when it gets cool enough around here to actually wear them.

What’s your favorite Halloween treat?

    Mix 1 pound each: M&Ms, dry roasted peanuts, raisins, and candy corn. Let set at least 24 hours before eating so the salty and sweet ‘marry’. So easy and so tasty! If you’re serving a big group and need to stretch it, add a bag of mini pretzels.

    I’m so puzzled how you really don’t like food pictures! Obviously, you aren’t a foodie (but I have separate blogs I follow for those), but you don’t like looking at tasty food things?

      It’s weird, right? I don’t like to look at food, other than what I’m eating myself. I don’t like looking at trays of food being carried in restaurants, and I don’t like food commercials on TV. I probably need some sort of therapy. Too bad it doesn’t keep me from eating so poorly!
