Trick-or-Sweet: Gooey Halloween Chex Mix

September 24, 2013 9 Comments Holly & Nat

I first tasted gooey coconut Chex mix when a dear friend made it for me, and I have been dying to try my own variation ever since! Halloween is almost a month away, but I have found some yummy seasonal treats that I had to incorporate into this recipe for “Trick-or-Sweet” Gooey Chex Mix:

Do you spy the candy corn and M&Ms? Those aren’t just any M&Ms… they are a new flavor called, “Pumpkin Spice” {oh my yum!} If you’re not a pumpkin fan, add your favorite flavor to the mix and it will be delicious. I’ve also tried the coconut M&Ms and they are to die for!

Here’s how I made my “Trick-or-Sweet” Gooey Chex Mix…


Ingredients:

  • 14 oz. box of Chex cereal {I used 1/2 Rice Chex and 1/2 Honey Nut Chex}
  • 7 oz. bag of sweetened coconut
  • 1 cup whole almonds
  • 3/4 cup butter {1-1/2 sticks}
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 1-1/4 cups Karo light corn syrup
  • 1 to 1-1/2 cups candy corn
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Spice M&Ms
Directions:
  • Step One: Pour Chex cereal, coconut, almonds and candy corn into a large mixing bowl coated with non-stick cooking spray. Mix together.
  • Step Two: Combine butter, sugar, and Karo syrup in a medium saucepan and heat to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
  • Step Three: Pour syrup mixture evenly into the bowl of cereal mix and stir it together.
  • Step Four: Once it is combined, spread the mixture onto wax paper to cool completely.*
*I added my M&Ms after the mixture had cooled down so the chocolate wouldn’t melt 🙂

 


Bag up this sweet treat for a neighbor, or enjoy it yourself! {Warning, this stuff is seriously addicting!!} 
What is your favorite Halloween treat?
