While you can technically freeze it, the texture of the cereal and candy may change slightly after thawing. It’s best to store this mix at room temperature.
3. What if I don’t like candy corn?
No problem! Candy corn is a fun, festive addition, but if it’s not your favorite, you can easily swap it out for other candies like mini peanut butter cups, chocolate-covered pretzels, or caramel bits.
