- Pretzel sticks, broken into pieces: 4 cups
- Plain Chex cereal: 3 cups
- Bugles: 2 cups
- White chocolate chips: 1 cup
- Red candy melts: 1/2 cup

Instructions

- Step 6: Let the candy melts set completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.
Notes
- Store your Vampire Bite Snack Mix in an airtight container at room temperature to keep it fresh and crunchy for up to a week.
- This snack mix is best served at room temperature; no reheating needed, so enjoy the crunch right away!
- Present this spooky snack mix in small cauldron-shaped bowls for an extra festive touch at your Halloween party.
- For easier "blood splatter," use a piping bag or Ziploc bag with a tiny corner snipped off to drizzle the red candy melts more precisely.
