This snack mix is so easy & versatile for any holiday or activity. This is a super kid pleaser. The variety I made is nut free, there is a peanut allergy in my daughters class.
I started with popcorn & pretzels as my base. I popped my popcorn on the stovetop, you could just as easily use pre-bagged popcorn (Smartpop) or microwave popcorn. I used 8 cups of popcorn and 3 cups of pretzels. Mix in a large bowl.
Next, melt your vanilla coating chocolate. Follow the melting instructions on the package. I dyed mine pink for the occasion. Once the coating candy is melted and the right color, pour it over your mix. Stir constantly until is all incorporated. Spread out on parchment or wax paper. I used valentines sprinkles next... this is optional... but too cute to pass up!
Next, I did the chocolate covered pretzels. I used the remainder of the bag of pretzels. Same process as before, but using chocolate. Sometimes this is referred to as almond bark or coating chocolate. It can be found in your local grocery store’s baking aisle. Once the pretzels are all covered spread them out to cool and harden and use more sprinkles. Can you tell I’m a girl mom?
I let mine cool and harden for about an hour. Once it’s cool you break it up into individual pretzels or bit size pieces.
In a large bowl I completed the remainder of the snack mix. I added very berry Cheerios, cupcake goldfish and marshmallows.
Really the sky is the limit on what you can do with the snack mix. It’s a perfect fun treat for kiddos!
