Ingredients – Here’s What You’ll Need

• Red and Green Christmas Caramel Corn: This homemade treat adds a touch of sweetness, texture, and festive cheer that will make your holiday snacking even more merry and bright.
  
• Pretzels: Using a variety of pretzels such as Itty Bitty Mini’s, as well as White and Dark Chocolate covered pretzels, adds both a sweet and salty crunch to this festive mix.
  
• Mini Peanut Butter Cups and Snickers Cookie Dough Bites: Adding unique candies can elevate your snack mix and make it a stand out snack mix.
  
• Tiniest Chocolate Chip Cookies: I got mine from Trader Joe’s, but if there isn’t one near you, opt for some Cookie Crisp Cereal instead.
  
• Nuts: More than just crunchy companions, the different nuts really elevate your snack mix to new heights. I used roasted and salted almonds and cashews. As well as dry-roasted and honey-roasted peanuts.
  
• Holiday Candy Corn: The iconic Halloween treat might seem out of place in a Christmas Snack Mix, but this cheerful little tri-colored candy can actually bring a surprising amount of magic to your holiday munching.
