This Chex Mix recipe is perfect for Halloween parties, for pre-trick or treat snacking, or for using up your leftover candy. In honor of the holiday, this blend uses a cinnamon- and vanilla-scented seasoning, along with dessert-friendly components: chocolate-covered pretzels, cinnamon Teddy Grahams, and candy corn (naturally). But if you’re anything like us, you love a salty-sweet combination. That’s why we season the entire mixture with just enough salt to offset the sweet flavors.
