Fall Trail Mix Recipe

Ingredients:

• Box cinnamon square cereal (I used Life but Chex or any other type would work.)
• Bag dried cranberries
• Bag autumn mix or candy corn
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• Bag walnuts (chopped)
• 1/2 of a 16 oz package of vanilla almond bark
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

How to Make Halloween Trail Mix:

1. Melt 1/2 of your package of vanilla almond bark (about 8 oz) in the microwave in a very large bowl. Be sure to follow the package instructions for melting. Stir well.
2. Add 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice to the melted almond bark and mix well.
3. Then add your entire box of cereal and toss to coat each piece.
4. Place 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a large zippered bag.
5. Then add half of your cereal mixture. Zip and shake to coat.
6. Spread out the cereal onto a cookie sheet.
7. Repeat with other 1/2 cup powdered sugar and the other half of cereal mixture.
8. Then allow the coated cereal to set up.
9. Add cranberries, walnuts, and candy corn to the coated cereal and toss to combine.
10. Then just add the fall trail mix to a bowl for eating.

Serving at a Party

Want to get a little more festive with your mix? Add it to paper cones to serve. Cut 12″ by 12″ sheets of scrapbook paper into fourths. Roll into a cone shape and tape to secure. Then add your Halloween trail mix to the inside.

This makes the mix easy to carry around a party and munch on. Plus it keeps the little hands out of the large bowl!

All of the pieces get a dusting of powdered sugar once they are mixed with the cereal. I did not know just how good walnuts and cranberries are once you put a little powdered sugar on them. Y’all they are amazing.

I hope you enjoy this one as much as we did! I actually just made it for my family and took the remainder to work with me. That way we got to enjoy it but not eat the entire batch! Cause I am telling y’all it makes a BUNCH!

So, will you be making this fall trail mix for your family this autumn? I know they are going to love it!

Don’t love cranberries or walnuts? No problem! This recipe can be adapted to include any ingredients you love. Substitute an of the ingredients and create your own version of this Halloween trail mix.

By the way, there is no reason to wait for Halloween to mix this one up. Make it right now and enjoy a batch then make it again in October! Trust me, you will want to keep a batch of this fall trail mix around your home!
