Happy Halloween! In the spirit of today, I decided to make a viral Halloween snack mix I saw on Tik-tok. It was super easy to follow-- I'll link the video here. I've always loved a good sweet + salty combo and this one has it all. It's also a great recipe you could easily customize with your own mix-ins + toppings. I followed the recipe as shown but it would be fun to switch it up for Christmas or other holidays.
PS-- if you prefer a heavier coating/sauce, it might be worth adding in more of the butter/brown sugar mix. Because there's so much cereal/pretzels, the coating is very light and just adds a subtle flavor. I also think adding on a chocolate or caramel drizzle and throwing some peanuts in would be yummy!
