Description
A festive, sweet-and-salty snack mix perfect for Easter and springtime celebrations, featuring popcorn, pretzels, cereal, marshmallows, candy, and a drizzle of white chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups popcorn (plain or lightly salted)
- 1 cup pretzel sticks
- 1 cup corn cereal (e.g., Chex or Crispix)
- 1 cup pastel-colored candy-coated chocolates (e.g., M&Ms)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the popcorn, pretzels, cereal, marshmallows, and candy-coated chocolates.
- Melt the white chocolate chips or wafers in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the snack mix and gently stir to coat everything evenly.
- Spread the coated mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
- Top with sprinkles if desired.
- Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or place in the fridge for quicker setting.
- Once set, break into pieces and serve.
Notes
- Swap white chocolate with caramel or milk chocolate for a flavor variation.
- Add-ins like yogurt-covered raisins, nuts, or dried fruit add great texture.
- Use themed candies for holidays like Halloween, Christmas, or birthdays.
- Colorful cereal like Fruity Pebbles can make this snack even more vibrant.
- Almond bark can replace white chocolate, and a little peanut butter can be melted in for a nutty twist.
