This Valentine Snack Mix is a delightful blend of sweet and salty flavors!
Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time25 minutes
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 package almond bark (1 lb)
  • 12 cups popped popcorn (about 1/2 cup kernels)
  • 1.5 cups M&Ms
  • 1.5 cups dry roasted salted peanuts

Instructions

  • Start by popping the popcorn. If you’re using kernels, pop about 1/2 cup in an air popper or on the stovetop. Once popped, place the popcorn in a large mixing bowl.
  • Break the almond bark into smaller pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
  • Pour the melted almond bark over the popped popcorn. Use a spatula or spoon to gently fold the popcorn until it is evenly coated.
  • Next, add the M&Ms and dry roasted salted peanuts to the bowl. Fold them into the popcorn mixture until everything is well combined.
  • Spread the mixture evenly onto a lined baking sheet. This helps it cool and harden into clusters.
  • Allow the snack mix to sit for about 30 minutes to cool completely. Once set, break it into pieces and transfer to a serving bowl.
