Servings: 20 Servings
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
- 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
- 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 the chocolate over the Chex cereal and gently toss until thoroughly coated.
- Transfer the chocolate covered cereal to a large freezer bag or large bowl and add the powdered sugar. If using a bowl, make sure to cover 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 Mummies
- Melt the vanilla candy wafers 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.
- Transfer the melted wafers to a piping bag or a squeeze bottle (you can also just drizzle the white chocolate with a spoon). Spread out your chocolate covered pretzels in a single layer on a parchment or wax paper lined cookie sheet.
- 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. Pop the pretzel mummies in the fridge to set. This only takes about 5 minutes.
Assemble the Snack Mix
- In a large bowl, add the muddy buddies, the candy corn mix, and the M&M's to 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!
