Original recipe (1X) yields 40 servings

6 cups cone-shaped corn snacks (such as Bugles)
4 cups cheese-flavored crackers (such as Cheez-It)
4 cups popped popcorn
2 cups pretzel sticks
1 ¼ cups brown sugar
¾ cup corn syrup
¾ cup butter
2 ¼ teaspoons coarse salt
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
½ ounce vanilla-flavored candy coating
1 (.88 ounce) package candy eyeballs
1 (11 ounce) package candy corn
1 (12 ounce) package candy-coated peanut butter pieces (such as Reese's Pieces)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 255 degrees F (124 degrees C).
Combine corn snacks, cheese crackers, popcorn, and pretzel sticks in a large roasting pan.
Bring brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and baking soda. Pour syrup over snack mixture in the roasting pan; stir to coat.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring to coat every 15 minutes.
Line a countertop with waxed paper. Spread snack mix into a single layer on top.
Place candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir until smooth and place a dot of melted candy on the back of a candy eyeball; attach to a corn snack. Repeat with remaining eyeballs.
Transfer snack mix to a large bowl. Stir in candy corn and peanut butter candy pieces until incorporated.
