Make some Easter Snack Mix!

Get your kids in the kitchen with you this Easter and let them help you make this simple, delicious Easter snack mix. It’s a great use-up for all that candy they’ll be getting in their baskets


8 cups popped popcorn (1/2 cup unpopped kernels, or 2 bags of natural microwave popcorn
3 cups waffle pretzels
1 bag Easter M & Ms
1 bag Reese’s Pieces eggs (you could also use robin’s eggs or Whopper eggs)
12 oz White chocolate chips
3 Tbsp sprinkles
Assorted food colors (I used purple, pink, blue and green)

Preparation

1. Combine popped popcorn, pretzels, M & Ms and eggs in a very large bowl.

2. Pour all but 1/2 cup of the white chocolate chips into a microwaveable bowl. Melt in the microwave in 30 second increments until smooth. Reserve the remaining chips in a small bowl to melt later.

3. Pour the melted white chocolate over the popcorn mix. Add the sprinkles and immediately stir to coat the entire mixture. It’s a little messy, but your hands really are the best tool to accomplish this! Lay the wet mixture out on wax paper to dry.

4. Melt the reserved half cup of chocolate chips in the microwave, then divide the melted chips evenly among four small bowls. Add a drop of purple, blue, pink or green food coloring (or whatever color you want) to each bowl and use a toothpick to stir until it reaches the desired color. Using a fork, drizzle each color over the popcorn mixture. Leave on wax paper to set up, then store it in a covered container until you’re ready to snack.
