Print Recipe

This cozy candy corn pumpkin seed trail mix is a quick and easy fall snack that combines sweet, salty, crunchy, and chewy textures. It’s perfect for cozy nights, fall parties, or Halloween gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • 1 cup candy corn
  • 1 cup mini pretzels
  • 1/2 cup honey roasted peanuts
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin seeds, mini pretzels, honey roasted peanuts, and dried cranberries. Stir to distribute evenly. Do not add the candy corn yet.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and sea salt. Pour over the dry ingredients and toss until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a single, even layer.
  5. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, stir, and spread back into an even layer.
  6. Bake for another 2 to 4 minutes, until the pumpkin seeds are fragrant and the edges of the pretzels are slightly golden. The candy corn should look soft but not melted.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet (at least 20-30 minutes).
  8. Once cool, break up any large clumps with your hands. Stir in the candy corn.
  9. Transfer to an airtight container or serve immediately.

Notes

Toast pumpkin seeds first for extra crunch. Watch candy corn closely to prevent burning. Let cool completely before storing to maintain crunchiness. Double the batch if sharing.
