Instructions
To a large, microwave-safe bowl add the Honey Nut Chex, Wheat Chex, pretzels, peanuts, and stir to combine; set aside.
To a 2-cup glass measuring cup or a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and heat on high power to melt, about 30 seconds.
Add the brown sugar, corn syrup, pumpkin pie spice (looks like a lot but you need an ample amount to flavor the entire batch), salt, and stir to combine.
Place measuring cup in the microwave and heat on high power until mixture is bubbly and boiling, about 30 seconds but watch it very closely because it can go fast.
Evenly drizzle brown sugar mixture over the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
Place bowl in the microwave and heat on high power for 3 minutes, stopping after each minute to stir.
After the mix has cooled for about 5 minutes, add the cranberries, candy corn, and stir to combine. Serve immediately.
