Servings: 12 servings
Cost: $8.34
Equipment
- Sheet pan (15" x 10")
- Parchment paper or aluminum foil
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups chocolate-covered pretzels divided
- Candy eyeballs plus 3 tablespoons chocolate chips
- 9 cups Corn Chex cereal
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips, see note 1
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
- 2 cups powdered sugar divided
- 1-1/2 cups mini Oreos
- 1 cup blue and green M&M’s
Instructions
- Line a sheet pan with parchment or foil. Arrange 1/2 cup chocolate-covered pretzels on the pan. Melt 3 tablespoons chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring between bursts. Transfer melted chocolate to a resealable plastic bag, seal it, and snip off a corner. Pipe chocolate into the top two holes of each pretzel and press in candy eyeballs. Refrigerate until the chocolate sets.
- Add Chex cereal to a very large bowl.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter, chocolate chips, salt, and butter. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth. Stir in vanilla if using. Pour over cereal, gently stirring to coat evenly without crushing.
- Divide cereal mixture and powdered sugar in half. In a large resealable bag, layer 1/2 cup powdered sugar, half the cereal mixture, and another 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Seal and shake until coated. Transfer to a clean bowl. Repeat with remaining mixture and sugar, then combine in the same bowl.
- Break up remaining 1 cup chocolate-covered pretzels and add them to the bowl with the coated cereal. Stir in mini Oreos and 3/4 cup M&M’s. Top with prepared “Goblins” and the remaining 1/4 cup M&M’s.

Notes
Note 1: Milk chocolate provides a sweeter, milder flavor, while semi-sweet offers a less sweet, more intense taste. Higher-quality chocolate improves flavor and melt.
