Ingredients

How to make christmas snack mix

100 grams Popcorn
200 grams White Chocolate
60 grams Mini Pretzels I used gluten free pretzels
50 grams mini Marshmallows
126 grams M&M's or Holiday candy M&M's are not gluten free in Australia, but you can use your preferred gluten free candy.
Holiday sprinkles Check that the sprinkles are gluten free as some may contain wheat.

Instructions

Line a large cookie baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove any unpopped kernels from the popcorn before starting the recipe.
Place the popcorn, pretzels, candy, and marshmallows into a large bowl. Mix until roughly combined.
Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in short bursts to ensure the chocolate doesn't burn. Then pour half the melted white chocolate into the bowl.
Fold gently and then add in the remaining white chocolate. Gently combine until all the ingredients are evenly coated in the white chocolate.
Pour the chocolate popcorn mixture onto a lined baking sheet. Spread the mixture out to an even layer.
While the chocolate is still melted top it with the Christmas sprinkles. Leave to set until the chocolate has firmed.
Break up and serve or place in food bags and seal for homemade food gifts.
