What is a fall snack mix?

A fall snack mix is a snack that is reflective of the fall season.
This reflection is with the ingredients that are added to the mix.

Fall snack mixes will incorporate colors that are associated with fall such as browns and oranges. They may also incorporate shapes such as pumpkin shapes.

What is included in a fall snack mix?

Fall snack mixes usually have a cereal base.
That cereal base provides the crunch and flavor that the other ingredients are based upon.

Salty ingredients, such as pretzels or nuts, are added to provide a crunchy element. On the other hand, sweet ingredients, such as candy, help to balance out the flavors of the salty ingredients.

Tips for making a good snack mix.

Using a variety of shapes and flavors is what can make a snack mix successful.
As a result, it is a good idea to use a variety when selecting ingredients.

More tips for you

  1. While the ingredients are baking in the oven, use a spatula or large spoon to flip and mix the ingredients. This will help to prevent burning.
  2. In case you do have leftovers, they should be stored in an airtight container. Store your snack mix in a cool and dry locations as well.
  3. This is a recipe that kids can help make. Choose an age-appropriate task that your child can do to help you with.

About this easy snack mix recipe.

This recipe begins with baking the salty and crunchy ingredients.
Once cooked, the baked ingredients are mixed with the sweet ingredients.

Like most snack mix recipes, it is really about the ease of the process.

Having a good balance of the two is essential to making the snack mix taste good.

Ingredients needed to make this fall inspired snack mix.

  • Butter. Butter adds both flavor and allows the crunchy elements to brown in the oven.
  • Brown Sugar. Balances the saltiness in the crunchy ingredients.
  • Vanilla Extract. Feel free to use another extract such as maple extract.
  • Ground Cinnamon. Pumpkin pie spice is also good for this recipe.
  • Chex Cereal. Rice Chex is my choice however, Corn Chex or other flavors could also work in this recipe.
  • Pretzel Twists. The perfect size and crunch!
  • Round Candies. Fall colored such as M & M's or Reese's Pieces. The chocolate is the perfect balance to the other ingredients.
  • Candy Pumpkins Why not include the candy corn too?.
