Print Recipe

A quick and easy Halloween snack mix featuring pretzel sticks as witch fingers and candy corn as fingernails, coated in white almond bark for a salty-sweet, crunchy treat that comes together in just 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups pretzel sticks
  • 2 cups Chex cereal (Rice or Corn)
  • 1 cup mini pretzel twists
  • 1/2 cup salted peanuts
  • 1 cup candy corn
  • 1/2 cup orange candy melts
  • 12 ounces white almond bark
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • A few drops orange gel food coloring (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons black sanding sugar
  • Edible glitter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep your workspace: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Measure all ingredients.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine pretzel sticks, Chex cereal, mini pretzel twists, salted peanuts, and candy corn. Toss gently with hands.
  3. Melt almond bark: Break almond bark into pieces and microwave in a microwave-safe bowl on high for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat in 20-second intervals until smooth. Stir in coconut oil and orange gel food coloring if using.
  4. Pour and toss: Pour melted almond bark over dry ingredients. Fold gently with a spatula until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Spread and shape: Transfer coated mixture to prepared baking sheet. Arrange some pretzel sticks to look like witch fingers with candy corn at tips for fingernails.
  6. Add finishing touches: While coating is still wet, sprinkle black sanding sugar and edible glitter over top. Press gently to adhere.
  7. Let it set: Allow to cool and set at room temperature for 20-30 minutes until firm.
  8. Break into pieces: Once fully set, break snack mix into bite-sized clusters.

Notes

Don’t overheat almond bark; microwave in short bursts. Work quickly once coating is added. Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. For best results, let set at cool room temperature (65-70°F).
