This Fall Party Mix Recipe is one of my top picks for Fall party food. It only takes a couple of minutes to put together and everyone loves snacking on it.
I like to throw parties because I love to be surrounded by family and friends. For a long time though, we didn’t host a lot of parties because I couldn’t find the time or would stress over all of the details.

I started paying attention to other people who seemed to entertain effortlessly. They always seemed to have simple food ideas and comfort food that was perfect for sharing. My friend Erika throws impressive parties with no notice at all. I love all of her suggestions for what to have on hand for impromptu parties.
This got me thinking that I could easily whip up some fall appetizers for a crowd, and not stress out as much over the details.
For pre-planned parties, I use a lot of items from my impromptu party supplies and I also try to keep things simple. I stick to easy appetizers and finger foods for the menu and Spotify party playlists for music.
Also, I try to take advantage of times of the year when I’m already decorating my home (e.g. holidays and seasonal changes such as Thanksgiving or football game days). Since Fall is my favorite season, I go a little crazy with pumpkins, gourds, and fall party food.

Add all the ingredients together in a serving bowl. I like to use the best fall themed bowl for this, but you can use any type of bowl to house this perfect fall party appetizer.
You could also skip mixing the ingredients together and just place bowls of each snack item around your entertaining space. I like mixing them together because you get all of the fun Fall colors at every table.
When you combine them, make sure to put the popcorn and mini marshmallows in the bowl first and the candy last because as you mix them, the heavier snacks will naturally fall toward the bottom.
Step 2: Serve
Put a bit in a bowl, and serve.
👩🍳 Pro Tips
Be sure to add the heavier ingredients first into the bowl as they are heavier and they will sink to the bottom.
