Christmas Crunch Snack Mix:
I’d recommend storing this Christmas Crunch Snack Mix in the fridge so the chocolate doesn’t melt and create a delicious but chocolatey mess. Click here to download the free Christmas Crunch printables.
- lightly salted (not buttered) popcorn
- jelly beans
- gum drops
- pretzels (broken into pieces)
- candy coated chocolates like M&M's or Sixlets
- Baker's semi-sweet chocolate, melted
- Line a cookie sheet (or two, depending how large of a batch you are making) with wax paper.
- Spread popcorn out on wax paper. You'll want a single layer of popcorn only so that you can evenly cover it all with chocolate later.
- Scatter jelly beans, gum drops, pretzels and candy coated chocolates over popcorn.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the mixture.
- Place cookie sheet(s) in fridge for about 30 minutes until chocolate has completely hardened.
- Break into pieces and store in a resealable food storage bag. Keep this stored in the fridge so the chocolate doesn't melt.
