Ingredients

  • 6 cups popped popcorn

Notes

  • I used microwaveable popcorn and popped it myself in advance. The buttery/salty flavor is a delicious contrast to the sweetness of the white chocolate. You can use pre-popped, bagged popcorn if you prefer to save time.
  • If you like, you can substitute pecans, peanuts, or shelled pistachios for the walnuts.
  • I used mini semi-sweet chocolate chips - feel free to replace with standard sized semi-sweet chips, or dark chocolate chips.
  • Want to bulk up this snack mix or add more texture/flavor? Consider adding a dry breakfast cereal to the mix. Some good options are Chex squares, Golden Grahams, or Cheerios. You could also add extra white chocolate chips or M&Ms candies.
