Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Butter (melted)
  • 3/4 cup Brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 Tablespoons Vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box Rice Chex (365g / 12 oz)
  • 1 bag Bugles (213g / 7 oz)
  • 4 cups Pretzel twists
  • 1 heaping cup Candy Corn
  • 1 heaping cup Candy Corn Pumpkins
  • 1 bag Reese’s Pieces (230g / 8 oz)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C) to prepare for baking the mix.
  2. Melt Butter and Mix Sauce: Melt the butter in the microwave using a medium bowl or measuring cup. Stir in the brown sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined and the sugar dissolves completely, creating a smooth glaze.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a very large bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, pretzel twists, and Bugles, ensuring they are well mixed for even coating.
  4. Coat the Mix: Pour the prepared brown sugar and vanilla glaze over the cereal mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure every piece is evenly coated without breaking the snack pieces.
  5. Prepare Baking Sheets: Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  6. Bake the Mixture: Divide the coated mixture evenly between the two baking sheets and spread it out in an even layer. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even baking and to prevent clumping.
  7. Cool Down: Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the mixture to cool completely on the sheets; this helps the coating to set and prevents sogginess.
  8. Add Candies and Toss: Once cooled, transfer the mix to a large bowl. Add the candy corn, candy corn pumpkins, and Reese’s Pieces. Toss gently to distribute the candies evenly throughout the mix.
  9. Store Properly: Store your Halloween Harvest Hash Chex Mix in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunchiness until ready to serve.

Notes

  • This harvest hash Chex mix offers the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and crunchy flavors.
  • Be sure to stir the mix every 15 minutes during baking for even coating and to avoid burning.
  • Allow the mixture to cool completely before adding candies to prevent melting.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep the mix fresh and crunchy for up to 1 week.
