Peppermint Crunch Mix image

This mix is a hit. So much flavor and crunch in every bite. For gift giving, I decorate the empty marshmallow creme jars for the occasion then fill them up. I am always asked for the recipe. I found this recipe in a Betty Crocker book.

Time 22m

Yield 1/2 cup, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 cups popped popcorn (I use white natural)
4 cups Honey Nut Chex
1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
20 red hard peppermint candies or 20 green hard peppermint candies, crushed (1/2 cup, I crush them quite fine)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°.
  • Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.
  • Mix popcorn and cereal in large bowl; set aside.
  • Place marshmallow crème in medium microwaveable bowl.
  • Microwave uncovered on High about 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute, until melted; stir again.
  • Pour over popcorn mixture; stir until evenly coated.
  • Sprinkle with candies.
  • Spread mixture on cookie sheet.
  • Bake 5 minutes; stir.
  • Bake about 5 minutes longer or until coating is light golden brown.
  • Spread on waxed paper or aluminum foil to cool.
  • Store tightly covered up to 2 weeks.
  • If you are in a pinch for time, buy an already popped bag of gourmet white popcorn.
  • Depends on the occasion, but I add red hots, or candy corn, or M&Ms or nuts.
  • Use your imagination.
  • BE SURE TO REMOVE ALL UNPOPPED KERNELS.
  • WE DON'T WANT ANY CHIPPED TEETH.
