Effortless Vampire Bite Mix

When I'm craving a fun snack, especially around Halloween, I grab for this Vampire Bite Trail Mix. It's a lively combo of deep reds, sweet treats, and chewy fruit—gone in no time at any party I bring it to.

Irresistible Ingredients

• Dark chocolate covered almonds: gives a good crunch and nutty chocolate bite Make sure they're shiny and fresh for max flavor
• Cherry flavored candies: small fruity pops of sweetness Grab ones with real cherry zing if you can
• Red candy coated chocolates: big punches of color and creamy centers Red shells totally fit the Halloween mood
• Dried cranberries: chewy and a little tart, their deep ruby color makes things extra dramatic Go for plump ones—they taste best
• Dark chocolate chips: rich and bold, balances out fruitiness Try to find ones with sixty percent cocoa or higher for that deep flavor
