This snack mix is a favorite in our house because it balances salty pretzels and popcorn with sweet chocolate. It is the perfect thing to put out in a big bowl when friends come over for a movie night.

My best tip for this recipe is to make sure your popcorn is fully cooled before you add the melted chocolate. If the popcorn is still warm, the chocolate might not set properly and things will get a little messy.

Ingredients

  • 8 cups popped popcorn
  • 2 cups small pretzel twists
  • 2 cups corn Chex cereal
  • 1 cup candy coated chocolate pieces
  • 12 ounces white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Spread the popcorn, pretzels, and cereal out onto a large parchment lined baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Place the white chocolate chips and oil in a microwave safe bowl.

  3. 3

    Heat the chocolate in the microwave in thirty second bursts, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth.

  4. 4

    Drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the popcorn mixture and toss gently with a large spoon to coat everything.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the chocolate candies over the top while the white chocolate is still wet.

  6. 6

    Let the mix sit at room temperature until the chocolate has completely hardened, then break it into pieces to serve.

💡 Tips

Store this snack mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. If you want a festive touch, feel free to swap the standard candies for seasonal colors during the holidays.
