Trick or Treat Trail Mix image

This is a great snack mix for Halloween, or anytime really! It has the perfect balance of salty and sweet. The coating on the peanuts is similar to caramel corn coating. Candy corns and fall colored M&M's make this festive and even yummier. The peanuts and peanut butter Ritz bits make this a little different than other snack mix...
