Bubby and Bean ::: Living Creatively: Sweet Springtime Snack Mix

I shared this last year, but we just made it again and it was so easy and delicious that I just had to post it one more time. This is a fun recipe to make with kids and perfect for Easter gifts or baskets.

Sweet Springtime Snack Mix

INGREDIENTS

8-10 cups popped popcorn
1-1/2 cups vanilla baking chips
1 cup mini pretzel twists, broken up
1-1/2 to 2 cups M&M'S
pastel sprinkles

In a large bowl, combine the popped popcorn, pretzels, and M&M’S. Melt vanilla baking chips in the microwave for 30 seconds and stir in between until melted. (Or use a double broiler.) Pour the melted vanilla chips over the popcorn mixture while stirring. Once combined, spread the mixture evenly on a wax or parchment paper covered baking sheet, and immediately cover with sprinkles. Gently stir so sprinkles stick to the vanilla coating. Allow to cool and break into pieces. Store in an airtight container or fill individual party bags.
