    Happy Halloween! Today's recipe for Fall Snack Mix is inspired by Halloween and all the candies your kids are going to bring home tonight.

    If your kids aren't Trick or Treating (or even if they are!), don't forget that all the candy will be marked down at the stores tomorrow morning. That's when I stock up on candy corn, peanuts, and M&Ms.

    Fall Snack Mix

    In the fall, I often keep a candy dish in the living room, full of candy corn, peanuts, and M&Ms. We all know that candy corn and peanuts are a match made in Heaven, but have you ever added M&Ms to the mix? Pure deliciousness I tell you!

    A couple weeks ago I made a snack mix in my slow cooker. My whole family loved it, especially my daughter who kept pointing to the container for "more". I decided to do another variation of a snack mix and use my favorite fall treat in it. This recipe is made in the microwave so it comes together in mere minutes. It's a fun and delicious way to use up Halloween candy!
