This fall Chex mix is sweet, salty and gone before the first Charleston. It’s also a sweet way to use up any leftover Halloween candy corn.

You’ll need

Makes about 8 cups. About 10 minutes, plus 30 minutes to set.

  • 4 cups rice Chex
  • 2 cups mini pretzels
  • 1 cup peanuts
  • 1 cup candy corn
  • 10 oz white chocolate

Make it

  1. Illustration: melted white chocolate pouring over Chex, pretzels and peanuts in a white bowl

    Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring in between. Pour it over the Chex, pretzels and peanuts and stir until coated.

  2. Illustration: coated snack mix spread on a parchment-lined pan with candy corn on top

    Spread it on a lined pan and scatter the candy corn on top.

  3. Illustration: hands breaking a set slab of Chex mix into pieces

    Let it set for about 30 minutes, then break it into pieces.

  4. Illustration: scooping Chex mix into striped paper cups

    Scoop it into cups to pass around the table.

Lady M’s tips

  • Make it the day before. It keeps up to a week in an airtight container.
  • Short bursts keep the white chocolate from scorching.
  • No peanuts? Use more pretzels, or another nut you love.

On my table

Scoop it into little paper cups so everyone has her own and hands stay off the shared bowl.

That’s it, and you’re ready for game night. Bird Bam Cheers! ...and happy mahj-ing!
