Tips for the Perfect Candy Corn Snack

Mix just before serving to keep everything crunchy.

Add mini marshmallows or chocolate chips for an extra twist.
Use festive bowls and Halloween-themed napkins for serving.

How Scarecrow Crunch Became Our Go-To Party Mix

This mix was born out of a desperate attempt to make something festive for my kids’ Halloween party… with only 20 minutes before guests arrived. I raided the pantry, tossed together our favorite snacks, and somehow it became the first thing gone at every gathering since. Now, it’s not fall in our house without a jar of Scarecrow Crunch on the counter.

What to Serve With Scarecrow Crunch

Pair it with cider, pumpkin spice lattes, or mulled wine for the grown-ups. It’s the ultimate companion to Halloween movies or game nights. Want to turn it into a dessert platter? Surround it with cookies, mini cupcakes, and caramel apple slices.

How to Store Your Halloween Snack Mix

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For gifting, keep individual bags sealed until ready to share. If the mix starts to soften, a quick toast of the pretzels and cereal in the oven (at 300°F for 5–7 minutes) can revive the crunch.

FAQs About Scarecrow Crunch Snack Mix

Can I make it ahead of time?

Yes, but add the candy just before serving to keep textures perfect.

Can I add popcorn instead of caramel corn?

Sure, but caramel corn adds a great sweet crunch. You could drizzle plain popcorn with melted chocolate as a fun twist.

Is this safe for kids with allergies?

It can be! Stick with nut-free candies and caramel corn. Always label ingredients when serving to a crowd.

How many servings does this make?

About 10–12 snack-sized servings, depending on portion size.
