Recipe Tips and Tricks
- The Gift Presentation Hack: Package your mix in cute jars or bags adorned with ribbons or candy canes for a gift-worthy presentation. You can also add a personalized tag with a handwritten message.
- Ingredient Swaps: Don't be afraid to mix sweet and savory! Balancing salty pretzels and nuts with sweet candy, crunchy popcorn, and creamy chocolate will keep your taste buds singing.
- Ensure Even Distribution: Since the final instruction is to simply "Add all ingredients to an extra large bowl and stir to combine,"
take care to achieve a balanced mix. When stirring, use a large rubber spatula or wooden spoon and lift the mix from the bottom. Focus on folding the mix over itself instead of circling, which prevents all the heavy items (like the M&M's and nuts) from sinking to the bottom of the bowl.
- Customizing the Crunch Factor: If you can't find the Tiniest Chocolate Chip Cookies or Snicker's Cookie Dough Bites mentioned, or if you want an extra layer of crunch, replace them with mini Chips Ahoy cookies or mini Oreos. These add large, flat surfaces that scoop up the smaller components (like the Holiday Candy Corn and M&M's) and provide a different snap texture than the pretzels and nuts already used.
