    Popcorn Snack Mix

    by Heather on March 6, 2009

    Heather says:

    Every Thursday a group of women invade my home. We divide and rotate snack duties to keep the expense and effort minimized while providing maximum snacky goodness for all who attend. Yesterday my friend Krystal introduced me to my newest vice, you see I’m a sucker for combinations of salty and sweet. Wielding a spatula, I threatened, asked very nicely for her recipe. It’s a mistake anyone could have made, after all I wasn’t being polite and my words were muffled by pretzel sticks and mini Oreos.

     

    Crystal's Popcorn Mix of Sugary Evil

    Krystal's Popcorn Mix of Sugary Evil

    Ingredients:

    • 4 cups popped popcorn
    • 2 cups mini Oreos
    • 2 cups thin pretzel sticks
    • 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
    • 1 1/2 cups raisins
    • 1 1/2 cups dried pineapple
    • scant 1/2 cup sugar (scant just means just barely 1/2 cup)
    • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
    • 2 TBSP melted butter

    In a gigantic bowl add the popcorn, cookies, pretzels, walnuts, pineapple, and raisins.

    In a mug or small bowl stir together the sugar and cinnamon.

    Drizzle the popcorn mixture with the melted butter, sprinkle with the cinnamon and sugar, and toss gently to coat.

    Hide the leftovers from yourself in an airtight container.

    Enjoy!

    I made this tonight for our family’s game night (We’re teaching the boys Texas Hold’Em…..but we only play for chips, not actual money).

    It was a huge hit! I skipped the walnuts and pineapple (allergies) but is was still quite Yummy!

    Thanks for the recipe……

    Jen, you cracked me up, thanks :)
    Becca, I’m glad your family liked it. I can see it being extremely tweakable. I didn’t have the walnuts, pineapple, or oreos on hand and threw in marshmallows and the kids still acted like it was manna from Heaven.

    I wonder if you could use different cookies other than Oreos?
