Even if You Hate Candy Corn, You'll LOVE This!

By Rachael Weiss~ Publisher Union County Macaroni Kid September 26, 2025

My kids had been begging me to make Puppy Chow - that rice cereal snack mix with chocolate and peanut butter. But, it's Halloween and the "Fall Mix" bag of candy corn was beckoning - so we took a detour down a dark alley and came up with this delicious recipe! But be careful - it's more addicting than blood is to a Vampire!


What you need:

8 Oz of White Chocolate (I used chips, but you could use any) 

4 Cups of Hexagon Rice Cereal 

2 Cups of Mini Twist Pretzels or Pretzel Nubs

2 Cups of Assorted Fall Candy Corn 

1 Cup of Reeces Pieces 




What you'll do:

- Melt the chocolate. I usually do it in the microwave on high for 90 seconds and then add by 30 seconds each time until melted (typically 2min total, but microwaves vary) 

- Add in Rice Cereal, Pretzels and mix thoroughly

- Add in the candies (all) and mix thoroughly 

- Spread on a sheet pan (line it in parchment if you hate cleaning up like I do!) to let it harden, trying to break up clumps 

- Pour into a serving dish and ENJOY!
