Ingredients for Halloween Monster Munch Trail Mix
- 2 cups roasted, salted peanuts
- 2 cups mixed nuts or store-bought trail mix of your choice (I used Trader Joe’s almond, chocolate, and cashew trek mix)
- 1 cup sesame sticks
- 1 cup Ghoul’s Mix Halloween M&M’s

Equipment Needed
How to Make Halloween Trail Mix
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.
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!
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.
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!
Then dig in and enjoy!
What Else Can I Include in My Halloween Mix Recipe?
