At the beginning of this month, one of my friends handed out a delicious popcorn, white chocolate, pretzel snack mix and I literally devoured it in about 2 minutes flat!  It was so good and I was so sad I didn’t have more (so were my kids and husband).  I asked her how she made it and she listed off the ingredients and directions and I couldn’t believe how easy it was!

I made some for my husband on Sunday night to take to work this week and hand out to his coworkers, but I made sure to make some extra for us.  I’m not even kidding when I say that you could throw this together in about 10 minutes.  It’s perfect for parties, family get-togethers, neighbor gifts or just a late night snack.

How to Make the White Chocolate Popcorn and Pretzel Snack Mix

First, grab the biggest bowl you have.  (Or four of the biggest bowls you have…)  Pop the popcorn if you didn’t buy pre-popped.  (I use this popcorn machine.)  Mix the cereal, pretzels, popcorn and M&Ms all together.  If you’re making a really big batch, you can do what my friend did and spread out a clean plastic tablecloth on the counter or table and mix it together that way.

While I’m usually an advocate for measuring, there’s no wrong way to put this treat together.  Just keep pouring and mixing until it has the right ratio for you.  I tried to put approximately the same amount of everything in each bowl.

Melt your almond bark in the microwave in a medium bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until it is completely melted and smooth.  (The almond bark I used was divided up into 12 squares and I had 4 bowls so I just melted 3 pieces for each bowl and it worked out great.)

Drizzle it over the top of your popcorn/cereal/pretzel/M&M mix and stir until well coated.  The almond bark cools relatively quickly so just keep stirring until it’s cooled and starting to set.  If you want to add some sprinkles to make it a little more festive, do so before the almond bark sets.

Let everything sit for about an hour before you start portioning it out (if you’re giving it away) or putting it into a bowl or container.

How long is the white chocolate popcorn and pretzel snack mix good?

Your snack mix will be good for about 5 days or so from the time you make it.  After that, the popcorn starts to shrivel up a little and it just doesn’t taste quite as fresh.  I mean, if it last the 5 days, then you’re obviously crazy, but I won’t judge… *wink*
