Ingredients for Halloween Monster Munch Trail Mix
With just 5 simple ingredients, here is everything you need to make this spooky and sweet Halloween trail mix!
Roasted, Salted Peanuts: A crunchy, salty base that balances the sweetness of the candy. For a nut-free version, swap in pepitas or sunflower seeds.
Mixed Nuts or Trail Mix: I like using Trader Joe’s Almond, Chocolate & Cashew Trek Mix, but any store-bought trail mix works. It adds variety and extra crunch.
Sesame Sticks: These savory little sticks give the mix an unexpected texture and flavor. If you prefer, substitute mini pretzels or a gluten-free option.
Ghoul’s Mix M&M’s: Bright and colorful, these seasonal candies add a fun Halloween touch and a pop of chocolatey sweetness.
Candy Eyeball Sprinkles: The spooky detail that makes this mix stand out! A little goes a long way. Just sprinkle them in for a creepy-cute finish.

Step 1: Combine the Base Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the roasted peanuts, mixed nuts (or your favorite store-bought trail mix), and sesame sticks.
There are so many options out there…just go with what you love!
Once you’ve added all the nuts and sesame sticks to your mixing bowl, give everything a good stir to make sure it’s well mixed.
note from jen’s kitchen
I love shopping at Trader Joe’s, so I used their almond, chocolate, and cashew trek mix for this recipe, but feel free to pick any mix you enjoy!
Step 2: Add the Halloween M&M’s
Now for the fun part…it’s time to add a pop of color and chocolatey goodness.
Toss in some Ghoul’s Mix Halloween M&M’s and gently stir them into the snack mix base.
Step 3: Finish with a Spooky Touch
To add a spooky touch to your mix, toss in the edible candy eyeball sprinkles.
Just make sure to give your trail mix a gentle stir so all the candy eyeballs don’t sink to the bottom of your mixing bowl.
It’s the perfect finishing touch that makes this Halloween mix a little eerie and a whole lot of fun!
To serve your Halloween trail mix, pour it into a big cauldron bowl or portion it into treat bags. Then dig in and enjoy!
