I think that trail mix and snack mix are the easiest things to make for a party. This Ghostly Sweet and Salty Snack Mix is perfect for any Halloween party that’s happening this year!

It’s easy to toss together and it’s great for snacking before the party, during the party and it’s great to bag up to send home with friends and family after the party!

For this fun Ghostly Sweet and Salty Snack Mix I used these ghost sugar candy decorations from Wilton to create some of the ghost pretzels for this snack mix.

I also used some of Wilton‘s little candy eye calls to make the other little ghost pretzels for this mix. Both turned out some super cute ghosts pretzels for this snack. 

Oh my gosh, and take a look at these sprinkles from Sweets and Treats Shop. It’s their Sweet Sprinkles Mix: Monster Mash and I’m in LOVE with this sprinkle mix

I used the sprinkle mix to decorate candy-coated cereal pieces and I think it gave it just the right amount of Halloween color pop! I love orange, purple and green together when it comes to Halloween.

Then to pack the Ghostly Sweet and Salty Snack Mix up to send off to my family I used these fun Trick or Treat boxes that  Wilton sent over. 

Aren’t they the cutest!?! I love the little window so you can see the Ghostly Sweet and Salty Snack Mix inside.

I’m so glad that we had such awesome neighbors at the apartments, I loved having neighbors that didn’t mind when I dropped off treats at their door! haha

Sometimes when I’d make extra little things like this Werewolf Kibble, I’d bag some of it up and hand little treat bags on their doors. It makes me happy and from their reactions, I think it adds a little smile to their day too. I do miss that about the apartment! 

Back when I made this the first time it was almost Halloween so, Halloween themed kibble happened, kibble was bagged up for neighbors and kibble was LOVED by all!

If you’re wondering what kibble is, it’s just another version of puppy chow or muddy buddies.

Puppy Chow that’s been changed up a little to look like Werewolf Kibble!

Let’s see what we’ve got here:

• Chocolate Cereal that looks like Kibble
• Red M&Ms for werewolf eyes
• Almond slices for werewolf teeth
• Pretzel sticks for playing werewolf fetch
• Peanut Butter Treats for a werewolf treat!

Jamie says,

This Halloween Monster Munch is perfect for parties or gather up the kids and watch a scary movie! The kids and I needed a quick last minute snack idea for movie night and they helped me gather and name the ingredients! I created these tags that can be used on top of bags if you’re making this for a party. My kids loved having their own bags of Monster Munch to eat while we watched Hocus Pocus last week!
