"Sometimes a ghoul's just gotta snack on something salty and sweet. I've cut down the amounts from the original for those who don't want to buy so many boxes of cereal to make this! Also, it would be easy to swap out different candies for different holidays or occasions."

Original is 7 cups servings

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 275°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Add the cereals, pretzels, and cashews in a single layer.

Step 3

Place the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl, cover, and microwave on high to melt, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Add the brown sugar and maple syrup and whisk well until combined.

Step 5

Pour the butter mixture over the cereal mixture and toss gently until evenly coated. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring halfway through. Cool either on the sheet tray, or on a counter lined with paper towels to absorb some of the butter.

Step 6

Stir occasionally.

Step 7

When completely cool, put cereal mixture into a large bowl and add the peanut butter candies, candy corn, and chocolate chips. Toss gently on the baking sheet.
