It’s time to break out the costumes and scary decorations because Halloween is upon us!

Halloween is my favorite because I am a scary movie junkie. The scarier the better! What makes scary movies bearable? Snacks! 

That is why I am bringing you a spooky snack to eat while watching movies or handing out candy to trick-or-treaters.

Scary movies require salty, crispy, sweet, bite-sized treats to keep your hands busy and muffle the sounds of your screams in the theater.

My Mummy Munch snack mix will do just that! If mummies are the these of the night, check out these Mini Mummy Pizza Dippers, Mummy Pups, and Mummy Oreo Pops.

Halloween Popcorn Mix (Mummy Munch)

With all the different “scary” or “horror” characters out there, there is no shortage of monsters to name my snack mix after.

When talking about mummies we have to start with the color white. What snacks are white that will taste great in a snack bag? Popcorn, marshmallows, almonds. 

Ok, the almonds are slightly “yellowish” in color but aren’t mummy bandages a little discolored after being buried for thousands of years? The slivered almonds are going in.

Don’t they look a little like bones? I think so!

Ingredients Needed

  • popcorn – salty snack
  • candy eyeballs – spooky fun candy
  • marshmallows – sweet to balance the salty
  • almond slivers – nutty and look like bones
  • dark chocolate chips – balance out the sweet & salty
  • toasted coconut strips – crunchy and look like mummy bandages
  • white chocolate covered pretzels – edible mummy pretzels

How to Make Mummy Munch

First: In a large bowl, combine the popped popcorn, mini marshmallows, almond slivers, candy eye balls, skull and bones candy, and dark chocolate chips.

Second: Make the mummy pretzels. Place the pretzel nuggets on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Third: Melt the white chocolate in the microwave and place in a zip top bag. Drizzle over the pretzel nuggets to look like bandages. Place two candy eye balls on each one to complete the mummy. Let set.

Fourth: When the Halloween pretzels are set, add to the rest of the candy popcorn mix. Stir to combine. Enjoy or portion out to give as gifts. Now the Mummy Munch Snack Mix is complete!

Tapas Tips & Tricks

  • Use regular or peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets.

Instructions

Pop the popcorn

  • Put your white popcorn kernels in the brown paper bag.

Make the mummy pretzels

  • Melt your white chocolate candy in the microwave according to instructions.
  • Lay out your pretzels on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Drizzle the white chocolate over the pretzel nuggets making "mummy-like" stripes.
  • Add the candy eyeballs to each mummy, pressing the eyes into the white chocolate a bit so they will have a strong bond with the pretzels.
  • Chill in the fridge to set the chocolate.
  • Remove from the fridge and store until you are ready to mix the Mummy Munch.

Make the Mummy Munch

  • Mix together the popped popcorn, dark chocolate chips, marshmallows, slivered almonds, large candy eyeballs, and the toasted coconut chips.

  • Add in the skull and crossbones candy if desired.
