Need a festive snack for Halloween? This sweet and salty one is cute, quick and easy. Just mix together some pretzels, chopped up Oreos, peanuts and candy. Bind the mixture together with some melted white chocolate, break into chunks and enjoy!
This yummy treat would be cute in little bags for your goblin visitors later this month. I found the original recipe on Your Home Based Mom- she has a version for every holiday, I think! Could this snack be the reason for the jack-o-lantern's toothless grin?
Candy Corn Cookie Crunch
adapted slightly from Your Home Based Mom. She has detailed instructions here.
Ingredients
1 lb. almond bark candy coating or white chocolate
14 Oreos, broken into pieces- I used the Halloween ones with orange filling
1 and 1/2 cups pretzels, broken- I used the thin straight ones
1 cup candy corn
1/2 cup peanuts
1/4 cup Reeses Pieces
1/2 cup Peanut M&Ms (fall colors)
Halloween sprinkles
Cover a cookie sheet with waxed paper or foil. Spread the broken pretzels, broken cookies, peanuts, and about 3/4 of the candy corn on the prepared cookie sheet. Melt the white chocolate or candy coating until smooth, according to package directions.
Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the pretzel mixture, spreading with a spatula if needed. Before it sets, sprinkle on the remaining candy corn, M&Ms, Reeses Pieces, and sprinkles. Place the tray into the refrigerator until set. Break into pieces and enjoy!

ReplyDeleteI think I got a cavity just looking at this - and I want more! This looks totally heavenly, Betty. The kids with their little pumpkin pails would go nuts for this, and so would I!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness... writing this down right now! My family is crazy for candy corn and this looks so fun and ridiculous! I am going to make a batch (isn't almond bark the greatest invention ever???) and then send the majority into the office with my daughter! So fun!

ReplyDeleteWow... this looks like the ultimate Halloween treat.
ReplyDeleteThis screams Halloween and yum! My dad used to get us kids on the living room floor and throw candy corn on the carpet and say, "Here chicky, chicky chicky." We loved it. He was a farmer when he was younger and they had chickens. Candy corn always reminds me of him.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! This would please the kids (and kids at heart) in my house. So fun :D
ReplyDeleteI had to smile at your comment about the toothless jack-o-lanterns :) What a clever treat for the goblins!
