Ingredients

Scale

Snack Mix

  • 1 cup pretzel sticks
  • 1 cup popcorn (popped)
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup pastel-colored candies (such as M&M’s or chocolate eggs)

Coating and Decoration

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or candy melts
  • Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
  • Pastel-colored edible glitter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the pretzel sticks, popped popcorn, mini marshmallows, and pastel-colored candies. Stir carefully to avoid breaking the delicate ingredients.
  2. Melt Chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
  3. Mix Coating: Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the snack mix, folding gently to ensure all pieces are evenly coated without causing breakage.
  4. Spread Mixture: Transfer the coated mix onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread out evenly in a single layer to allow for setting.
  5. Decorate: Immediately sprinkle with optional sprinkles and pastel edible glitter while the chocolate is still wet to adhere properly and add festive flair.
  6. Set and Cool: Let the mixture cool completely at room temperature until the chocolate hardens and sets firmly.
  7. Break into Clusters: Once set, break the mixture into bite-sized clusters, perfect for snacking or packaging.
  8. Store or Gift: Store the clusters in an airtight container to maintain freshness, or package in treat bags to give as thoughtful Easter gifts.

Notes

  • Use fresh, popped popcorn for best texture and taste.
  • Be gentle when mixing to prevent crushing the popcorn and pretzels.
  • If white chocolate is too thick, a small amount of vegetable oil can be added to smooth it out.
  • Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the chocolate from melting.
  • For a dairy-free variation, use dairy-free chocolate chips and check the candy ingredients.
