Munchie Mix for Monday

Happy Monday!  I hope that everyone was able to enjoy their weekend before today arrived and a new week is upon us again.  I had great hopes and ideas for starting something like "Motivational Monday" posts to share with you today.  Well, I am very much a planner and do not like when things stray off routine and my day goes a bit differently than originally planned.  This is something that I am trying to be a bit more relaxed about. 

Anyway, this morning, I had to head to the local Meijer for some groceries and came home with not only lots of groceries, but also a headache.  Unfortunately, this happens more times than not.  I unloaded the groceries into the kitchen and my headache instantly got worse as I was trying to find places to put them and keep it in an organized and orderly fashion.  I moved into this house just over a month ago and the pantry and cupboards are feeling less than user friendly.  Enough of the explanation of my change of plans. 

Here is what I did to change my day around, headache and all.  What did I do?  I decided to whip up a quick, calorie laden, fall treat.  This Halloween Munchie Mix is a fun treat to take along to get togethers or just to share with friends and family.  I just put it into a bowl to share today.  It is fun to put into Halloween muffin papers if you are taking it to a party or making it for kids.  I hope you enjoy this treat.  Beware...it is addicting to eat!


Here is what you will need:

4 Cups Honey Nut Chex
1 Cup dry roasted peanuts
2 Cups mini pretzels
1 Cup autumn mix ( candy corn and pumpkins)
16 oz. Vanilla candy coating (Candiquick)
Mix first four ingredients in a large bowl.  Melt candy coating according to package directions.  Pour over mixture in bowl and stir until well coated.  Spread out onto a cookie sheet lined with wax paper.  When hardened, break into pieces and enjoy. 

I would love to hear if you, too, enjoyed this fun treat and how you chose to share it.
I will leave you with this thought...

It looks good! I think I'll have to try making that soon. Where do you find Candiquick? Is it by the chocolate chips?
