Equipment
- high sided half sheet pan or extra large disposable foil pan
- heavy duty, extra wide, non-stick aluminum grill foil
- Silicone Spatula
- 5 16-inch piping bags
- 2 Tall Microwave Proof Glasses
Ingredients
- 4.4 oz Skinny Pop Original
- 15 oz Ghirardelli White Melting Wafers
- 2 c Snyders Itty Bitty Minis Pretzel
- 1 c Honey Roasted Peanuts
- 2 tbs Red White and Blue Sprinkles optional
- 10.5 oz Red White and Blue Peanut M&M's
- 8 oz Red Candy Melts divided
- 8 oz Blue Candy Melts divided
Instructions
- Line a high-sided half sheet pan with heavy-duty, extra-wide, non-stick aluminum grill foil1. Add the Skinny Pop Original to the prepared pan.
- Place a 16-inch piping bag in a tall microwave-proof glass, then add the Ghirardelli White Melting Wafers. Next, heat in the microwave according to package directions. Once completely melted, snip the tip off the piping bag and drizzle over the popcorn. Immediately and quickly stir the popcorn to coat it in the melted white chocolate.
- Sprinkle pretzels and honey-roasted peanuts over the top of the coated popcorn. Then, quickly stir them into the popcorn before the chocolate has hardened. Top with festive sprinkles and holiday M&M's.
- Place half of the red candy melts and half of the blue candy melts into piping bags set in glasses, like the white melting wafers. Heat them individually in the microwave according to package directions. Then, drizzle each over the top of the snack mix in a zig-zag pattern.
- Allow the candy melts to harden for about 30 minutes, then break up the top layer of the snack mix with your hands, that's coated in the red and blue drizzle, and transfer to a large bowl. Then heat the remaining red and blue candy melts as before and drizzle them over the remaining snack mix still in the pan. Allow to cool for 30 minutes, then break up the pieces and add to the first batch of broken-up popcorn mix. Store in an airtight container.
- Yield 8 quarts of snack mix
Tips/Notes
- You can also use an extra large disposable foil pan.
