Ingredients
- 4 cups popcorn (plain or lightly salted)
- 1 cup pretzels (mini or sticks)
- 1 cup cheese crackers
- 0.5 cup roasted nuts (almonds, cashews, or peanuts)
- 0.5 cup chocolate candies (e.g., M&M's)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1 pinch salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the popcorn, pretzels, cheese crackers, and roasted nuts. Set aside.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the honey, brown sugar, and cinnamon (if using). Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
Step 3
Immediately pour the honey-butter mixture over the snack mix in the bowl. Toss everything together until evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the coated snack mix onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow it to cool for 3-5 minutes to let the coating set.
Step 5
Once cooled but still slightly sticky, sprinkle in the chocolate candies and gently mix them in. Add a pinch of salt if you prefer a sweet-and-salty combination.
Step 6
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
