The second fall hits, I mix up a bowl of this candy corn snack mix. And the next day I whip up another bowl, because the first is gone by then.
Here’s the deal, I’m not a fan of candy corn. Never have been. So I know how silly it sounds for me to claim that adding a few nuts to it makes a difference. But it does. Oh my heavens it does. 4 ingredients, less than five minutes, seriously make this stuff and give it a try. You’ll devour it so fast.
The Ultimate Candy Corn Snack Mix
Ingredients
- 2 bags candy corn don't get the big pumpkins, just the standard corn. pumpkins are too much.
- 1 cup honey roasted peanuts Planter's brand is by far the best
- 1 cup honey roasted almonds
- 1 cup honey roasted cashews
Instructions
- Mix it in a bowl and eat it like it's popcorn. You know, timid and controlled to start, but ravenous and insatiable by the end. And though it's not technically "required" for the nuts to be honey roasted, the mix does end up being about a billion times better if they are.

STUGA
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

The next project we’re checking off our 2023 project list is the mudroom! This used to be the laundry room until we built out a much bigger, better laundry room upstairs. So, in the meantime, this space has been exclusively Cricket’s room. Cricket will still have a special space here, but we’re transforming this dingy […]

Chris is my kitchen guru, so it pains me to say it, but no one in our extended family of 25 liked this. It was the saddest waste of money and really good nuts.
Thank you for the effort, and keep the recipes coming, but I felt it fair to share an honest alternative opinion to the other comments.
My parents’ favorite bridge mix: equal parts red-skinned spanish peanuts (the little round ones) and candy corn. Easy and irresistible!
Yes! My mom is a retired teacher and growing up, every Halloween she would make something very similar to take to school for her students. Of course, we always snagged some before it left the house. She also adds Reese’s Pieces, which is really tasty, too!
I don’t know whether to love you or hate you.
But of course love wins.
Thank you for this one.
