I don’t know if you’re the one who has to dish out the trick or treat candy at your place, but it’s my job. To keep my hands out of the goodies now intended for children, I like to make this snack mix. It’s not exactly health food, but it keeps me away from the candy. It also makes a prime item at a Halloween party.
So. boo and such.
