- 1 cup candy corn
- 1 cup pumpkin spice M&Ms
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup butter

Instructions
- Mix the base: In a large bowl, combine the Chex cereal, pretzels, candy corn, pumpkin spice M&Ms, and mini marshmallows. Gently stir to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Create the coating: In a small saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar together over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, which adds a delightful aroma.
- Combine: Pour the melted buttery mixture over the cereal mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to stir gently until everything is evenly coated.
- Cool and add chocolate: Allow the mixture to cool slightly (about 5 minutes), then fold in the white chocolate chips carefully, ensuring they don’t melt.
- Set: Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool completely before serving.
