Can I use white chocolate chips instead of candy melts?

Yes. Add the tablespoon of coconut oil so the chips melt smoothly. Chips set a little softer, so chill the mix for 10 minutes before breaking it apart.

How long does Halloween Chex mix stay fresh?

Up to a week in an airtight container at cool room temperature, or two weeks in the fridge.

Can I make Halloween Chex mix gluten-free?

Rice Chex is labeled gluten-free, so swap the pretzels for gluten-free pretzels and check every candy label.

Why did my white chocolate get thick and lumpy?

It either overheated or touched water. Melt it at 50% power in short bursts and keep everything completely dry.

How much should I put in each treat bag?

About 1 cup per small cellophane bag works well, which gives you roughly 12 bags per batch.
