Plate of pumpkin spice snack mix with Chex, pretzels and candy corn

Fall is my favorite season, but between work, the holidays and my kids’ never-ending activities, it’s also my busiest season.

So when I found out at the last minute that I needed to provide a fun fall snack for my daughter’s kindergarten class, I needed something quick and easy!

I decided to make this scrumptious pumpkin spice snack mix.

The most important ingredient, according to my daughter? Candy corn!

This easy pumpkin spice snack mix is so delightfully delicious. It’s the perfect easy snack for busy moms like me! I’ve said it time and time again, but it’s so true… I am in love with anything pumpkin spice during the autumn months. I just can’t get enough of that yummy pumpkin spice flavor. In fact, I think this pumpkin spice snack mix is my new favorite crunchy holiday treat. :)

Pumpkin Spice Snack Mix Recipe

It’s also a great snack to whip up with your little one. Kara and I headed off to the grocery store together to gather our ingredients.

My favorite thing about this pumpkin spice snack mix is the wonderful sweet and salty flavor. Of course, the kids just love all of that great fall candy included in the mix.

I guess that makes this snack a winner for kids and grownups alike.

This recipe makes about 16 servings (at about 1/2 cup per serving) which is perfect for my daughter’s kindergarten class. I portioned my snack mix into snack-size plastic baggies, which worked really well and held the half-cup servings perfectly.

Grab some extra ingredients if you need to make a double batch for a larger party or gathering.

This pumpkin spice snack mix tastes great all week when stored in an airtight container. Just watch out, because keeping a big jar of this around the house can be dangerous in the tastiest way.
