Fun Fall Snack for Kids

It was my turn to make snacks for preschool this week and this always intimidates me for some reason (just being honest). I guess I just want all of those little people to just love it.  So since it was close to Halloween, I looked up some fun fall snacks for the kids.  I stumbled across this Chex mix and apparently the kids loved it.  I made this and stuck it in some little ghost treat bags. Little One said it was very good and I figure that is a stamp of approval.

Doesn't this look delicious?  The wonderful picture is by a friend who made this yummy treat last night after we talked about the recipe together.  She makes it look so good here I'm about to go make another batch of it!

Here is what you need:

1.  6 C of chex mix

2.  1 C pretzels

3.  6 tablespoons butter melted

4.  1/4 cup brown sugar

5.  1 tsp cinnamon

6.  1 C Reese Pieces

7.  1 C mini marshmallows

8.  1 C candy corn

Here is what you do:

1.  Preheat the oven to 275 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2.  Melt the butter in microwave (well that's how I did it because I'm lazy).

3.  Combine the Chex mix and the pretzels in a large bowl.

4. Pour the melted butter on top of the cereal and combine until evenly coated.

5.  In a small bowl combine the brown sugar and cinnamon and then pour onto cereal mixture until evenly coated.

6.  Spread the cereal mixture onto the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.

7. Allow to cool completely and then mix in the candy treats!

Delicious!  This is perfect to take to a Halloween Party (which is what I am doing this weekend). It is also great for little treat bags for kids. Even better? Let the kids help you make it.  It is a fun recipe that they can help create.

Enjoy!
