Grinch Popcorn Mix

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Makes 10 cups

Ingredients

  • 8 cups popped popcorn unpopped kernels removed
  • 2 cups mini pretzel twists
  • 12 ounces white chocolate chips
  • Green gel food coloring
  • 1/2 cup red and green candy-coated chocolates

Instructions

  • Spread the popcorn and pretzels together in a single layer across a large baking sheet lined with parchment.
  • Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30 second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
  • Stir in green food coloring a drop at a time until the chocolate is a bright, even green, white chocolate can seize if the coloring is added too fast.
  • Drizzle half the green chocolate over the popcorn mixture, then toss gently with a rubber spatula to coat.
  • Drizzle the remaining chocolate over the top and toss again, until most pieces show at least some green.
  • Scatter the red and green candies over the top while the chocolate is still wet, so they stick in place.
  • Let the mix sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes, until the chocolate is fully set and no longer glossy.
  • Break into clusters and pile into a large bowl to serve.

Good to Know

Use candy melts instead of white chocolate chips if you want a color that holds without the seizing risk, they are made for tinting.
