Make this fun and colorful harvest candy corn snack mix for your next fall party or family gathering!
Even though Christmas is almost just around the corner, we’re still savoring fall. We still have Thanksgiving to celebrate before Christmas is officially here!
In light of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, I decided to put together a simple but delicious fall snack mix.
This is so simple to make that you can literally mix it together in just a few minutes!
We always like to take a homemade Thanksgiving-themed snack to our annual family gathering, and I always try to pick something that’s kid-friendly. This recipe is perfect for those get-togethers.
Kids love to help with this recipe, too. I love to involve my kids in the kitchen, and this is something they can actually help with (if you can keep them from eating it all!). 😀

Harvest Candy Corn Snack Mix
Ingredients:
- 3 cups shelled roasted salted peanuts (I used a 16 oz. container of Planters dry roasted peanuts)
- 2 cups candy corn (or an 11 oz. bag)
- 2 cups M&Ms chocolate candies (we used a 19.20 oz. bag)
Instructions:
- Add the peanuts and candy corn to the bowl and toss to mix.
- Pick out all the fall colors of the M&Ms and add them to the bowl. One family-size bag of M&Ms supplied almost exactly 2 cups of red, orange, yellow, and brown candies.
- Toss everything together again so that it’s well-mixed, and enjoy!
In addition to being delicious, I just love all the vibrant fall colors that come together in this simple harvest candy corn snack mix.

My kids loved that there were quite a few non-fall colors left over! 🙂
