My Fall popcorn snack mix recipe is salty, sweet, and easy to make. Made with just a few ingredients, this tasty snack is so fun to make for the Fall or Halloween. It’s great for Fall festivals, tailgate parties, or a movie night.

Fall is one of my favorite seasons, the crisp air, colorful leaves, and of course the food. This fall popcorn snack mix is one of those recipes I make as soon as the leaves start changing.

Popcorn trail mix, or harvest popcorn mix, is the best sweet and salty bite. Popcorn, pretzels, candy, and white chocolate, whats not to love!

This snack mix doesn’t have to just be for the Fall. You can make this any time of year, just substitute the candy corn with more Reeces Pieces or other candy like Rolos.

Ingredients

This sweet and salty fall popcorn snack mix is easy to customize with your favorite candy and sprinkles.

• Popcorn: I like using already popped, bagged popcorn but you can pop your own. Just make sure to remove any popcorn kernels.
• Pretzels: I’m using mini twist pretzels. You can substitute with sticks or your favorite protezels.
• Mini marshmallow: Mini marshmallows adds delicious texture to the mix.
• Reeces Pieces: Add color and peanut butter flavor.
• Autumn candy corn mix: Fun for the Fall.
• Sprinkles: Use your favorite color sprinkles.
• White chocolate melts: You can use white chocolate melts, almond bark, or white chocolate chips.

How to make Fall popcorn snack mix

1. Place the popped popcorn in a large bowl.
2. Add in the mini marshmallows and mini pretzels.

3. Add in the Reeces Pieces and Autumn candy mix.
4. Place the white chocolate melts in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in 30 second intervals until the chocolate melts.
5. Pour the melted white chocolate over the popcorn mixture. Carefully stir to completely coat the mixture with white chocolate.

6. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Let it sit until the white chocolate has firmed up. Break into pieces and serve.

Heather’s recipe tips

• Use a big bowl. I recommend using a big bowl so that you have room to stir. If you don’t have a large bowl, separate the mixture into 2 bowls.
• Candy melts. I recommend using the white chocolate melts for smooth chocolate. If you use white chocolate chips, I recommend adding just a little vegetable oil or shortening to help keep it smooth.
• Mix together fast. Once you pour the melted chocolate over the popcorn mixture, stir it fast before the chocolate hardens.
• Put the sprinkles on immediately. As soon as you spread the mixture out on the baking sheet, add the sprinkles so that they stick to the white chocolate.

Variations

There are so many ways you can make this no bake fall snack mix your own.

• Nutty crunch. Stir in some peanuts, pecans, or walnuts for an added crunch.
• Colorful candy melts. Drizzle with melted colorful candy melts like orange and yellow.
• Candy swap. Substitute the candy with things like M&M’s, Rolos, crushed Butterfinger, and more.

Storage

Keep any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature. The snack mix will last about 5 days.
