Halloween Party Mix

My kid’s teacher asked for ‘non-sweet treats’ for a Halloween party. A search of Allrecipes showed there were very few like that, so I took some party mix recipes and made my own. Pretzel sticks = wooden stakes. Animal-shaped crackers = wild beasts. Toasted rice cereal = tombstones.

Original recipe makes 12 servings

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt
7 cups crisp rice cereal squares (such as Rice Chex®)
1 cup roasted pumpkin seed kernels
1 cup pretzel sticks
1 cup goldfish crackers
