Ingredients
2 cups chocolate-covered pretzels (or dark chocolate pretzel twists)
1 ½ cups red candy-coated chocolate (like red M&Ms)

1 cup yogurt-covered raisins
1 cup gummy fangs or gummy worms
1 cup mini marshmallows
¾ cup chocolate chips

½ cup dried cherries
½ cup popcorn (air-popped or lightly salted)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bowl: Start by preparing a large mixing bowl. Ensure your surface is clean and ready for mixing.
- Add Base Ingredients: Add the chocolate-covered pretzels and popcorn to the bowl as the base for your trail mix.
- Mix in Candies and Fruits: Add the red candy-coated chocolates, yogurt raisins, and dried cranberries to the bowl.
- Add Gummies and Marshmallows: Toss in the gummy fangs, candy eyeballs, and mini marshmallows for a spooky touch.
- Finish with Sweetness: Add the chocolate chips and dried cherries for a little extra sweetness and texture balance.
- Toss to Combine: Gently toss the mixture with a spatula until everything is evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix to preserve the shape and texture of the candy.

Notes
Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh ingredients for the best texture and taste. Fresh popcorn and candy make the mix extra crunchy and flavorful.
Don’t Overmix: Be gentle when tossing the ingredients to avoid crushing the candy and pretzels, especially the gummy candies and popcorn.
Diet-Friendly Variations: This recipe is easily customizable for vegan or gluten-free diets. Simply swap in suitable alternatives like dairy-free yogurt raisins or gluten-free pretzels.
Storage: Best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days. Avoid refrigeration, as it will make the pretzels and popcorn become chewy.
