- 1 cup M&Ms Ghouls Mix (Peanut)
- 1 cup Halloween Themed Sprinkles Mix
- 1/2 cup Harvest Candy Corn

Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and prepare a spacious mixing vessel for the Halloween-themed treat.
- Carefully transfer the Chex cereal into a generously sized mixing bowl, ensuring ample room for coating.
- Locate a microwave-safe container and gently melt the chocolate candy coating, exercising caution to prevent scorching. Stir at consistent 30-second intervals until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform liquid.
- Delicately cascade the molten chocolate coating over the Chex cereal, utilizing a broad utensil to thoroughly enrobe each morsel, creating an even, glistening layer.
- Meticulously arrange the chocolate-drenched cereal across a parchment-lined baking sheet in a uniform configuration.
- While the chocolate remains glossy and malleable, artfully scatter festive sprinkles and complementary ingredients across the surface, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
- Allow the confection to rest and solidify completely at room temperature, transforming into a crisp, interconnected treat.
- Once set, delicately fragment the mixture into bite-sized clusters, perfect for Halloween revelry.
- Transfer the spooky snack mix into a sealed receptacle to maintain optimal freshness and crunch.
Notes
- Prevent chocolate coating from burning by using short, controlled microwave intervals and stirring frequently to maintain smooth consistency.
- Ensure even coating of Chex cereal by gently folding with a large spoon, using sweeping motions to distribute chocolate evenly without crushing delicate cereal pieces.
- Work quickly when adding sprinkles and toppings while chocolate coating is still warm to help ingredients adhere properly and create a festive Halloween look.
- Customize mix for dietary needs by using gluten-free Chex, dark chocolate coating for lower sugar, or swapping sprinkles for allergy-friendly decorative options.
