 Autumn Crunch Trail Mix Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 cups cin­na­mon Chex cere­al
• 2 cups mini pret­zel twists
• 1 (6 oz) bag caramel corn puffs or caramel corn
• ¼ cup unsalt­ed but­ter
• ¼ cup brown sug­ar 
• 1 tbsp pump­kin pie spice
• ½ tsp vanil­la extract
• 1 cup pump­kin spice M&M’s or fall-col­ored M&M’s
• ½ cup can­dy corn mix
• ½ cup peanut but­ter can­dy pieces (like Reese’s Pieces or sim­i­lar)

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, com­bine the cin­na­mon Chex, pret­zels, and caramel corn puffs.
2. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the but­ter and stir in the brown sug­ar and pump­kin pie spice until ful­ly blend­ed. Remove from heat and stir in the vanil­la extract.
3. Pour the spiced but­ter mix­ture over the cere­al blend, toss­ing gen­tly to coat every­thing even­ly.
4. Spread the mix­ture on a parch­ment-lined bak­ing sheet. Let it cool com­plete­ly for 15–20 min­utes so it crisps up a bit.
5. Once cooled, toss in the M&M’s, can­dy corn mix, and peanut but­ter can­dies.
6. Store in an air­tight con­tain­er at room tem­per­a­ture for up to a week (if it lasts that long!).
