  2. Add the pretzels, toasted oat cereal, peanuts, candy-coated chocolates, cookie pieces, raisins or dried cranberries, candy corn, and white chocolate chips to the bowl, spreading it evenly.
  3. Using clean hands or a large spoon, gently toss all the ingredients together until they are evenly mixed.
  4. Once everything is mixed, serve in a large bowl or divide into snack-sized treat bags.
  5. Store leftovers in an airtight container or sealed bags at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Make sure all dry ingredients are fresh for the best texture. Avoid stirring too hard to keep the mix from breaking apart.
