Halloween Snack Mix

We just love this time of year and all of the yummy treats that come along with it. When I was little I remember my mom always had a dish of candy out and around holidays it was always themed candy. Candy corn for Halloween, conversation hearts at Valentine's Day and I have found myself doing the same thing for my kids. The candy corn dish doesn't still filled very long with lots of little hands dipping into it, but I let it slide! I used to like candy corn, but now I only like it in this simple snack mix. There is something about the sweet and salty tastes that makes this snack mix one of our favorites.

We made a batch last week and I'm sharing the simple steps to make your own over on Savvy Sassy Moms today! You can check out the recipe HERE!

This is great to have at home to munch on when you want a treat, but also perfect to package up and hand out to teachers, bus drivers, friends, coaches and neighbors! I've even packaged this up for our school's fall bake sale and it was a hit with all of the kids.

What is your favorite Halloween treat?

Frozen Candy Corn Punch

Happy Friday friends! Halloween is finally here and our kids could not be more excited. We have a fun day planned for tomorrow and my kids cannot wait to go trick-or-treating! Before that though we are planning to have a little get together with our neighbors. We did this last year and it was a really fun way to kick off the Halloween festivities. I love making themed food and drinks and this year I'll be making this Frozen Candy Corn punch.

We had it a few weeks ago and it was a hit with everyone. There is still time to run to the store and grab the ingredients! We're sharing the recipe over on Savvy Sassy Moms today. Click HERE to read. :-)

We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and we can't wait to see pictures on social media of all the cute kiddos in costumes. We'll definitely be sharing on Instagram, so be sure to check in with us!

Candy Corn Mix

It is officially October and that gives me the official go ahead to decorate all things fall and start making treats. I love the summer, but I think hands down if you had to ask me my favorite month out of the year it is October!

It turns a little crisp this time of year, and as much fun as Halloween was when I was younger, I think it is way more fun now that we have kids. The moment the sun (or rain in our case) started shining on October 1st I pulled out all the Halloween bins and the kids helped me decorate the house. Then we began making some of my favorite treats.

First one up is usually Candy Corn Mix. It is super easy, but hands down one of our favorites. Our good friends the G family introduced this little combo to us a few years ago and it is a group favorite.

Candy Corn Mix

1 Bag of Candy Corn

1 Can of unsalted peanuts

- Mix the two together in a large bowl.

- Done!

See I told you it was easy!! :) I've heard some people say it reminds them of the way a PayDay candy bar tastes.

I got a little over zealous in my portions and made a HUGE batch. Instead of keeping it all to ourselves (and trust me when I say this house would have no problem eating it all), I decided to gift a few to Cute's teachers. I saw these fun jars at Target and decided this was the perfect use for them. Ours were located in the Halloween section of the store and were $3.

I used sisal twine to tie a candy corn chalkboard printable that I made last year to the jar. It went perfectly with the theme!

A super easy treat that was finished in literally minutes!

I am so excited for this Halloween and am definitely looking forwards to celebrating the fun month we have planned ahead.

What fun things are you looking forward to this October?
