Easter Snack Mix Ingredients

This recipe calls for just a handful of ingredients. You can find the full, printable recipe in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. Let’s take a look at what you’ll need:

  • popped popcorn – you can pop your own or buy the popcorn already popped, just make sure it’s plain, unflavored popcorn.
  • white candy melts – any will work here – I used Ghirardelli.
  • miniature pretzels – I like the twists but if you prefer the sticks, those will also work in this recipe.
  • M&Ms – go for the pastel colored M&Ms.
  • sprinkles – this is where it gets fun so go wild! Use a variety of sprinkles for the best results.
  • miniature marshmallows – you can use plain white marshmallows but we picked up a bag of the colored, flavored marshmallows and they were a huge hit with the kids.

  2. Melt candy melts according to package directions and pour over the top of the popcorn. Use tongs to toss to evenly coat popcorn and pretzels.
  3. Add the marshmallows, M&M’S and sprinkles and toss with tongs to coat again.
