Monster Munch Halloween Snack Mix is a super easy party treat made with popcorn, white chocolate, pretzels and candy. It's sweet and salty and delicious!
Halloween food should be easy to make and fun to eat -- like this Monster Munch. It's a sweet and salty mix of popcorn, pretzels and Halloween candy held together with white chocolate and topped with ribbons of colorful candy melts. If you're looking for Halloween party food or easy Halloween snacks, you'll go batty for Monster Munch!
We always serve Mummy Dogs and easy Halloween appetizers before the kids go trick-or-treating. And while it would be easy to throw some chips in a bowl, serving a fun snack mix is even better.
I have a goal to make a sweet and salty snack mix for every holiday -- strange, but true. We made Bunny Bait for Easter and Patriotic Popcorn for the 4th of July, so Halloween is next!.
How to Make Halloween Snack Mix
Sweet and salty Monster Munch starts out with popcorn and pretzels -- That's your salty base. Time saving tip -- Use premade popcorn! I use Boom Chicka Pop, but any brand will do.
Just spread the popcorn on a baking tray, and add the pretzels. Then, drizzle some melted white chocolate all over -- That's your sweet!
Stir it up so that the melted chocolate holds everything together. Then, sprinkle your favorite Halloween candy all over the mix.
Use Your Favorite Halloween Candy
- Candy corn
- M&M candy in different fall flavors
- Candy eyes
- Gummy worms
For extra color, drizzle melted candy coating all over the mix. We used a blend of orange and purple candy melts -- you want the colors to really pop!
Let the Monster Munch firm up for about 30 minutes. You can pop the tray into the fridge or leave it on the counter until everything is dry and firm enough to handle.
Then, place it into a bowl, and you're ready to dig in! It's salty, sweet and very addicting. Once you start munching, it's hard to stop!
