Ingredient Notes

Popcorn
Freshly popped popcorn creates the light and crunchy base of this snack mix. Air-popped popcorn works great as well but stay away from heavily buttered popcorn.

Pretzels
Mini pretzel twists add the perfect salty balance to the sweet ingredients. Their crunch also gives the mix a great texture. If you can find seasonal shaped pretzels, that works great as well!

White Chocolate Melting Wafers
Melting wafers are ideal because they melt smoothly and harden quickly, coating the popcorn and pretzels in a sweet white chocolate flavor.

Pastel M&M's
These colorful chocolate candies add sweetness and a fun pop of color throughout the mix.

Mini Cadbury Eggs
Mini cadbury eggs brings that classic Easter flavor and a perfect crunch to snack mix.

Pastel Sprinkles
A handful of pastel sprinkles finish the mix with festive color and a little extra sweetness.

How To Make Easy Easter Popcorn Snack Mix

Step 1: Prepare the Base
Place the popped popcorn and pretzels in a large mixing bowl. Gently toss to combine.

Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave safe bowl, melt the white chocolate melting wafter in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.

Step 3: Coat and Mix
Pour the melted white chocolate over the popcorn and pretzels. Gently stir until everything is evenly coated.

Step 4: Add the Candy
Add the m&m and Cadbury eggs into the coated popcorn and gently toss until candy is mixed throughout.

Step 5: Spread and Let it Set
Spread the mixture onto a parchment lined baking sheet and sprinkle with the pastel sprinkles over the top so they stick to the melted chocolate. Allow the snack mix to set at room temperature for 10-15 minutes or until chocolate is fully dry.

Step 6: Serve
Once the chocolate has hardened pour into a serving bowl or divide up into cute packaging to gift.

This Easy Easter Popcorn Snack Mix is perfect for filling easter baskets, serving at a spring gathering or packaging in little treat bags for friends and neighbors. It is festive, colorful and guaranteed to disappear quickly!
