Sweet and Salty Puffcorn Snack Mix

This Sweet & Salty Puffcorn Snack Mix is so good that it is insanely addicting! The combination of salty and buttery Puffcorn along with crunchy pretzels and colorful M&Ms all coated in a thin layer of white chocolate is to die for. This easy 15 minute recipe only requires 4 simple ingredients and a couple minutes in the microwave. Puffcorn on it’s own is pretty awesome, but when you add the sweet twist to the mix it takes it to the next level, just like in this Honey Srirach Snack Mix.

How To Make Sweet and Salty Puffcorn Snack Mix

You could be all professional and melt your white chocolate over a double boiler, but I prefer the quick and easy method in the microwave. As long as you microwave it in slow increments, stirring after every minutes, you will end up with the same result in just a couple minutes. So much simpler than dirtying a double boiler and waiting for the water to heat. Call me lazy, but I call it efficient! 😉

I use a huge Tupperware bowl to melt my chocolate in and then I just add everything into the bowl and toss it well until all of the salty snacks are coated in a thin layer of white chocolate. Layer some wax paper over your kitchen counter and spread the warm mixture out. Let it cool for 10 minutes and it’s ready to enjoy!

This Sweet & Salty Snack Mix can be customized in a variety of ways. Not only can you make it special for Valentine’s Day, you can also make it a great gluten-free snack by swapping out the pretzels for gluten-free ones. Unfortunately there aren’t really any swaps I have found to make this healthy! 😉
