Halloween Monster Mash Party Mix
One of my favorite things about Halloween is that rules don’t apply (fun rules, c’mon guys!). Homemade, fresh, all-natural, all those things really aren’t important.
Or, maybe they are? I don’t know.
Anyway, for me at least, Halloween is all about the most outlandish colors and costumes, tricks and treats, and simply having a good time.
Or, at the very least, trying…
This is why this Halloween I will not be making any outrageous desserts or favor bags that take me hours to prepare. Who has time for that? I hardly have time to brush my teeth these days (kidding!)
This amazing Halloween Party Mix, like my overall feelings toward Halloween, has no rules or limits. I didn’t go out of my way to buy ingredients, but instead, over the course of a week, as I shopped, if I saw something that looked fun or yummy, I would pick it up and add it to my Monster Mash Stash. I found most items at Homegoods (seriously, you guys, that place has so much awesome random candy) and Target.
My aim was to include goodies that were both salty and sweet and super colorful!
In keeping with easy, I added any leftover party mix to gift bags for O to give to his teachers.
What to add to your Halloween Monster Mash Party Mix
The options are endless! Truly! I like to add a mix of salty, sweet, and sour.
- Eyeball gummies
- Colored Halloween popcorn
- ALL THE CHOCOLATE. You can add anything. I kept things super simple and just added chocolate chips.
- Gummy teeth
- Pretzels (remember salty with the sweet). I like these cute bat-shaped pretzels.
- Nuts – almonds, cashews, walnuts, etc. (omit if you know children have a nut allergy)
