Halloween Treat: Candy Corn Party Mix
It’s 9 p.m. Everyone is in bed. You are sitting for a little quiet time. THEN, all of a sudden…down the steps bounds your 8 year old…he forgot that he signed you up to take a Halloween treat for his classroom mates!
Sound familiar? Oh yes…happened to me more than once!
So what’s a Mom to do? Run to the pantry and in about 5 minutes, toss together Candy Corn Party Mix!
With just a few ingredients, a bowl, spoon and microwave…you can have this Candy Corn Party Mix done in minutes and you can go back to your quiet time. It’s perfect to send in for Halloween Classroom Parties, give to neighbors, friends, even family!
I used Gluten-Free Chex cereal and Gluten-Free Pretzels, making this a great Gluten-Free Treat. There are also raisins, candy corn and fun Halloween sprinkles. And to hold it all together, and because chocolate makes everything better, I melted white chocolate Almond Bark. But you can certainly substitute whatever you have on hand or what your family likes best, using white chocolate is the best though.
To give the Candy Corn Party Mix for a gift, you can fill cellophane bags with the mix and tie with a ribbon. Or for a little larger gift, add the Candy Corn Party Mix to a jar and tie with a ribbon. You can find the FREE Printables over on the Halloween Printable Page.

LOVE IT! Printed it! Will be making next week! THANKS!!!
I’ve been really excited to make this since I saw it last week on your blog, well this weekend Walmart has it in their ad, but they are saying you need 3 THREE, 24 oz packages of white chocolate baking bars?!?!? 3 packs? holy cow that is WAY more than you have in your recipe, and everything else is that same…..I’m thinking that was a mistake in the walmart add? I am so loving your site, just found it a couple of weeks ago, I so want to come to your house and be your friend…but not in a creepy way.
Hi Marye Jane, I haven’t seen the ad yet, but it seems to be wrong. The amount I have in the recipe was the amount from the original recipe that Walmart sent me when they asked me to make the recipe. I will double check that recipe, but I’m pretty sure the one I posted is correct.
I’m thrilled you are enjoying Hoosier Homemade!
The original recipe calls for 8 oz of white chocolate bars, which is the amount I have in the recipe. Hope that helps.
Looks quick, easy and delicious! Glad you made the reciipe printer friendly-it is appreciated! Looking forward to trying this.
Kia Ora, hi from kiwi girl again, just to update you on the lovely candy mix, my husband and sons love it, i know it’s going to be a treat I will make often. Look forward to more recipes. Have a lovely weekend.
