  • ½ cup candy pumpkins
  • ½ cup Reese’s Pieces

Tips / Storage / FAQs

Tips:

  • Stir gently to avoid crushing delicate ingredients like cereal or popcorn.
  • Add extra chocolate candies or dried fruit for variety.
  • For a nut-free version, use caramel corn without nuts and replace Reese’s Pieces with M&M’s.

Storage:

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Keep away from heat or sunlight to prevent chocolate from melting.

FAQs:

  • Can I make this ahead of time?
    Yes! It stores well and stays fresh for several days when sealed properly.
  • What if I can’t find Shreddies?
    Substitute with Life cereal, Chex, or any sturdy square cereal.
  • Can I make it gluten-free?
    Use gluten-free pretzels and cereal, and check labels on candy.
  • How can I make it festive for other holidays?
    Just swap the candy colors and mix-ins to match any theme—Christmas, Easter, or birthdays.
