- 1/2 cup pumpkin-shaped candy corn
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients: 2 cups pretzel sticks, 1 cup candy corn, 1 cup roasted salted peanuts, 1/2 cup chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup pumpkin-shaped candy corn.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pretzel sticks, candy corn, and peanuts. Stir gently to distribute.
- Add the chocolate chips and fold gently to avoid breaking the pretzels.
- Fold in the pumpkin-shaped candy corn carefully to keep them intact.
- Give the mixture a final gentle toss with your hands or a spatula to ensure even distribution.

Notes
For extra flavor, toast the peanuts at 350°F for 3-4 minutes and let cool before adding. If using unsalted peanuts, add a pinch of flaky sea salt. The mix improves after sitting for a few hours as flavors meld. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks or freeze for up to three months.
