Main Ingredients

2 cups candy corn Look for fresh, soft pieces for best texture.
2 cups pretzel sticks, broken in half Provides the salty crunch.
1 cup dry roasted peanuts Adds protein and richness.
1 cup candy-coated chocolate candies (such as M&M's, orange and brown colors if available) For a sweet, chocolatey element.
1 cup roasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas) Contributes an earthy crunch.
1 cup mini cheddar crackers Adds a cheesy finish.

Preparation

Gather all the ingredients: candy corn, pretzel sticks (broken in half), dry roasted peanuts, candy-coated chocolates, roasted pumpkin seeds, and mini cheddar crackers.
Place all the ingredients in a very large mixing bowl.
Gently toss the mixture using your hands or a big spoon to mix the ingredients evenly without crushing the candy corn or breaking the crackers too much.
Divide your trail mix into individual snack bags or place it in a large bowl to serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container or sealed bags at room temperature to keep fresh for up to two weeks.

For best texture, store candy corn in a cool, dry place. This trail mix also freezes well if you want to extend shelf life.
