Loaded White Chocolate Popcorn
Loaded White Chocolate Popcorn mix with pretzels, peanuts, M&M's, and sea salt. The ultimate sweet and salty snack.
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 2 bags popped popcorn simply salted
- 2 ½ cups pretzel sticks broken in half
- 2 cups peanuts lightly salted, dry roasted
- 2 cups M&M's white chocolate marshmallow crispy
- 10 oz Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers vanilla flavored
- 1 teaspoon maldon sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the popcorn according to package directions or your preferred popping method. Allow it to cool.
- Add the popcorn to a large mixing bowl, and remove any kernels.
- Break the pretzel sticks roughly in half.
- Add the pretzels, peanuts, and M&M's to the bowl with the popcorn. Toss to combine.
- Place the white chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until completely melted and smooth.
- Pour the melted white chocolate over the popcorn mixture. Gently stir until the ingredients are lightly coated.
- Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or large tray.
- For extra pockets of white chocolate throughout the mix, drizzle any remaining melted white chocolate over the top before it sets.
- While the white chocolate is still wet, lightly sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top.
- Let the popcorn mix sit for about 30 minutes in a cool area, or refrigerate for 15 minutes, until the white chocolate has completely set.
- Break the popcorn mixture into clusters. Leave some larger clumps for the best sweet-and-salty bites.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container until ready to enjoy.
Notes
Mix-Ins: The measurements for the pretzels, peanuts, and M&M's are more of a guideline than a rule. Honestly, eyeball as much of the toppings as you'd like. I tend to load it up, so feel free to add a little extra of anything you love.
