Ingredients

  • 8 cups of Chex cereal I used wheat and rice, but use any combo!
  • 1 cup of chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup of smooth peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup of unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 cups of mini chocolate covered pretzels
  • 1 cup of white melting wafers or white chocolate chips
  • Candy eyeballs I used these
  • 1 cup of Brach's "Autumn Blend" candy or just plain candy corn will be great!
  • 1 cup of peanut or regular M&M's the "Ghoul's Mix" variety.

Instructions

  • To Make The The Chex Mix Adapted from Chex Cereal's "Gluten Free Muddy Buddies" recipe
  • Measure out the Chex cereal into a large bowl and set aside.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, microwave the chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter on high for about 30 seconds. Give the mix a stir.
  • Continue to microwave and stir in 15 second intervals until the mixture is melted and smooth. 
  • You can also melt these ingredients by placing them in a heat safe bowl over simmering water. Stir frequently until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
  • Once the chocolate peanut butter mixture is melted, stir in the vanilla.
  • Pour chocolate over the Chex cereal and gently toss until thoroughly coated.
  • Transfer the chocolate covered cereal to a 2 gallon freezer bag, large bowl or stock pot (that's what I used) and add the powdered sugar. If using a bowl or pot, make sure to put a lid on it!
  • Shake the mixture until the cereal is completely coated in the powdered sugar.
  • At this point you can either leave it in the large bowl, or move it to a sheet pan or large baking dish.
  • Making the Pretzel MummiesMelt the vanilla candy wafers or white chocolate chips by placing them in a microwave safe bowl and microwaving on high for 30 seconds. Give the mix a stir and continue to microwave and stir in 15 second intervals until the mixture is smooth.
  • You can also melt the wafers by placing them in a heat safe bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir frequently until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
  • Transfer the melted wafers to a piping bag* or a squeeze bottle.
  • *If you don't have a piping bag, put the melted wafers into a ziplock bag and snip off the corner of the bag. Don't cut off too much, or the drizzle will be too thick!
  • Spread out your chocolate covered pretzels in a single layer on a parchment or wax paper lined cookie sheet. 
  • Using your piping bag, drizzle the melted vanilla candy over the top of the pretzels, zig zagging back and forth. Make sure to add a little extra white to the top of the mummy's "head" to make it look like bandages!
  • Quickly add the candy eyeballs to the wet drizzle, to make the mummy's face.
  • Repeat this process until all the chocolate covered pretzels have been turned into mummies.
  • Pop the pretzel mummies in the fridge to set. This only takes about 5 minutes.
  • Assembling The Mummy Munch Halloween Snack MixIn a large bowl, add the candy corn mix and the M&M's to the"Puppy Chow" Chex mix.
  • Lightly toss until everything is well distributed and transfer to your serving dish.
  • Remove the mummy pretzels from the fridge and add to the mix. 
  • Serve and enjoy this cute, spooky, and fun snack mix for Halloween!
