For a richer flavor, use salted butter and omit the coarse salt. If you don't have candy coating, you can use melted white chocolate. Store the snack mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy!

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 255 degrees F (124 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn an extra-large roasting pan, gently combine the corn snacks, cheese crackers, popcorn, and pretzel sticks. Ensure an even distribution for optimal coating. (5 minutes)
03
StepIn a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, and salt. Stir occasionally until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a gentle boil, then cook, stirring frequently to prevent burning, for 5 minutes. (15 minutes)
04
StepRemove from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda. The mixture will foam up. Immediately pour the syrup evenly over the snack mixture in the roasting pan. Use a spatula to gently stir and coat all the pieces. (5 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even baking and prevent sticking. The mixture should be lightly golden and fragrant. (1 hour)
06
StepLine a clean countertop with waxed paper or parchment paper. Spread the baked snack mix into a single layer to cool completely. (5 minutes)
07
StepWhile the snack mix cools, prepare the candy eyeballs. Place the vanilla candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. (3 minutes)
08
StepUse a toothpick or the tip of a knife to place a tiny dot of melted candy coating on the back of each candy eyeball. Attach the eyeball to a corn snack, pressing gently until it adheres. Repeat with the remaining eyeballs. (15 minutes)
09
StepOnce the snack mix has cooled completely, transfer it to a large serving bowl. Gently stir in the candy corn and peanut butter candy pieces until evenly distributed. (5 minutes)
