Halloween is a time for spooks and treats, and this trail mix offers a little of both. The recipe itself simply calls for Halloween goodies and some other add-ins, so you can choose what will be enjoyed the most for any party or other get-together. If each food is individually wrapped, you can also hand a filled goodie bag of this out to each trick-or-treater that knocks on your door.
Why not try this variation? The ingredients and other components can easily be found by shopping stores local to Bangor, Maine, and will not break the bank in cost.
Ingredients
small pretzels
candy corn and/or candy corn pumpkins
cran-raisins
roasted nuts

chocolates covered with eyeball wraps
-

These bags of candy might also be given out to the children of family and friends, along with some homemade treats that you may not be comfortable handing out to others. These treats may include:
Decorated cakes for families.
A decorated cupcake for each child.
Pumpkin chocolate chip whoopie pies.
Candied or caramel apples.
Popcorn balls with candy corn.
If you look, you will be able to find Halloween decorated boxes and bags that will hold a variety of treats for your loved ones.
