Trick-or-Trail Mix

October 20, 2015

IMG_2571

Thinking of a unique treat to hand out to the little ghouls and goblins that come knocking on Halloween? Want to have something at the ready for any last minute, hair-raising parties that come up? Fear not, my pretties… I’ve got just the concoction for you – muahahaha!

This tasty trail mix is sure to stand out – whether in trick-or-treat pails or on the snack table at your Halloween bash. And it’s so easy to make (and customize!)

Trick-or-Trail Mix

  • 1 bag snack mix
  • Candy corn
  • Raisins
  • Peanuts
  • M&Ms (I used a bag of the seasonal candy corn kind!)
  • Pumpkin candies

  1. Simply pour the snack mix into a big bowl.
  2. Add in the candy corn, raisins, peanuts, M&Ms, and pumpkin candies.
  3. Mix it all together.
  4. Enjoy!

Seriously… it’s scary just how easy this is to whip up, and it makes SO much! Be careful, though – if you’re not careful, it might just vanish before anyone else gets to it. I was going to bag this up and share it with some friends, buuut, it’s disappearing into thin air! Some kind of hocus pocus, I presume. (Or I’m just sitting here eating handful after handful as I write this.)

Just imagine how cute this mix would look in a little treat bag with orange and black ribbon, or placed in a food contact glove (like this.)

I’m being extra mindful this year about making sure I have peanut-free options for the littles in our area with food allergies. (Have you heard about the Teal Pumpkin Project?!) I think you could give this same idea a go and make a peanut-allergy safe version, using this Allergy Free Chex Mix recipe, this peanut free candy corn, and some nut-free candies like these. Just to be extra safe, though, I think I’ll be handing out jack-o-lantern cuties and little toys! What do you usually give to trick-or-treaters?

xo, Aly

Almost every nook and cranny of our home is filled Almost every nook and cranny of our home is filled with sentimental pieces. I’m the daughter, granddaughter, and niece that will gladly take items the family may otherwise get rid of or have tucked away in closets for decades, untouched. The kind of traveler that looks for leaves and shells and rocks to keep in my pockets and carry with me, so I can always hold a piece of where I’ve been. Usually, I have no idea where these things may come to live in my own home, but they always manage to find their perfect places in time.

These shelves alone hold a basket full of stones and shells from around the world, framed high school love letters my grandpa wrote to my grandma in the 1940s, an assortment of found and inherited books, some well more than a century old, and sweet portraits of my great grandparents. 

While I strive to avoid clutter, I do love filling every room with as many meaningful pieces as I can. Because while many things are just things, some are so much more. 🤍
