3. 3

   Add the mini pretzel twists and salted roasted peanuts to the bowl.

   Gently fold in the candy corn and candy-coated chocolate pieces. Use a large wooden spoon or clean hands to toss everything together until evenly distributed.

   If using, add the reese's pieces, candy eyeballs or gummy worms, and sunflower seeds. Give the mix one final gentle toss to incorporate.

6. 6

   Transfer to a large serving bowl for a party, or divide into individual treat bags or cups for trick-or-treaters. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
