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.
