Spooky Snack Mix #SundaySupper

As a kid I often read Goosebumps books.  They felt like a way to be “bad” and buck what was expected of me, even though really, they were geared at kids just like me.

For a long time those awesome books and the TV show that accompanied them for awhile were my only foray into scary entertainment.  Scary meant bad in my world, perhaps mostly because Mom still eschews scary movies/TV shows/ books.

As I grew up I dipped my toe into scary movies.  I loved The Sixth Sense and What Lies Beneath, but for years that was it.  As my general fears grew, my fear of being scared grew right along with it.  I was afraid of enough, so I didn’t need Stephen King and M Night Shyamalan adding to the list.

Then with Dad’s recommendation that I watch Signs, I discovered something not spooky at all: scary stuff takes me out of my brain and into another world.

Whereas typically when I’m watching TV or movies or reading a book, I’m thinking about a million other things and writing chapters and essays in my head, spooky stories don’t allow me to do that.  From Split and Get Out to Stranger Things and Grimm, monsters and mysteries with a sometimes diabolical twist are my release.  They don’t scare me, they free me.

I can sometimes, rarely, convince Mom to watch with me, though the trailer for season 2 of Stranger Things left her unwilling to commit to watching with me.  When she’s not interested, it’s great bonding time for Dad and me.  We’re in the middle of The Craft right now.  While Halloween still isn’t my favorite holiday, it turns out maybe it’s not so bad after all.

While you’re busy being scared, you need a snack, so I am thrilled to present Spooky Snack Mix.  It’s a super fun and easy to make, no bake recipe that is sweet and salty and super crunchy, just what I love when I need a snack!  The orange of the Cheez-Its is perfect for Halloween, pumpkin seeds are too, and I think the Honeycomb look like ghosts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
  • 1 ½ cups Honeycomb cereal
  • 2 cups Cheez-Its
  • ½ cup pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  1. In a small microwave safe bowl, melt the chips and shortening together in the microwave in 30 second increments until fully melted.
  2. Once the coating is melted, use a fork to dip the Honeycomb one at a time into the chocolate. Coat fully and place on parchment paper to set. Repeat until all are coated. I found this to be super fun, and it’s a perfect activity for kids.
  3. Once the Honeycomb are fully set, mix with the Cheez-Its and pumpkin seeds and serve. Snack mix may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes

    My kids loved Goosebumps! They were fun to read, I never thought about using Honeycomb cereal in a mix! You’re right, they do look like ghosts. 🙂

    I think sixth sense is my limit. I just cannot watch anything spookier than that..my brain just can’t handle it. Romcoms are much more my speed. But the snack mix looks awesome, I am gonna make it and eat it while watching when harry met sally for the thousandth time, lol.

    Although scary is not my preference, the Sixth Sense was incredible. Glad you’re getting good bonding time with your Dad. Glad too that you shared your scrumptious (and spooky!) snack mix =) P.s. Love your new picture. #gorgeous!
