Ingredients
Snack Mix
- 2 cups pretzels
- 1 cup popcorn
Chocolate
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Toppings
- 1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Place pretzels and popcorn in a large bowl, ensuring they are well mixed.
- Melt Chocolates: Melt the chocolate chips and white chocolate chips separately, either in the microwave or over a double boiler, until smooth and pourable.
- Drizzle Chocolates: Drizzle the melted chocolate and white chocolate evenly over the pretzel and popcorn mix to coat the pieces with chocolate.
- Add Peppermint: Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies evenly on top of the chocolate-coated mix for that refreshing minty finish.
- Toss to Coat: Gently toss the snack mix to distribute the peppermint candies and ensure a light, even coating of chocolate over the pretzels and popcorn.
- Set the Mix: Spread the mix on parchment paper in a single layer and let it sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, about 10-15 minutes.
- Serve: Once set, break the mix into pieces and serve immediately or store for later use.
Notes
- Use candy canes crushed finely if peppermint candies are unavailable as a substitute.
- Store the snack mix in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch.
- This mix makes a delightful holiday gift and can be packaged in festive bags or jars.
