Notes

  • This Chex mix can be made with unsalted butter; simply add ½ teaspoon of kosher salt.
  • I used light brown sugar in this recipe, but you could also use dark brown sugar.
  • In place of the pumpkin pie spice, you can use a mixture of 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon,         
  • Feel free to use whatever flavor of Chex cereal you like in place of the apple cinnamon flavor. I recommend peanut butter, cinnamon, honey nut, or a mix of corn and rice Chex.
  • You can use caramel corn pieces in place of the caramel Bugles for a similar flavor.
  • Feel free to omit the candy corn/pumpkins, or replace them with a different candy, such as M&M's, peanuts, candy eyeballs, Milk Duds, Halloween sprinkles, or black licorice.
  • You can use mini Reese's Cups or M&M's in place of the Reese's Pieces.
Storage: Store Halloween Chex mix in an airtight container or Ziplock bag at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
