Best Tropical Popcorn Snack Mix Recipes

SWEET AND CRUNCHY POPCORN SNACK MIX

Steps:

• Line a large baking sheet with waxed paper.
• Combine crispy corn and rice cereal, honey graham cereal, peanut butter corn puff cereal, popcorn, chocolate pieces, and peanuts in a large bowl.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat; whisk in flour until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add brown sugar and corn syrup; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute. Stir peanut butter into sugar mixture until creamy, about 3 minutes; pour over cereal mixture and gently toss until coated.
• Spread cereal mixture over prepared baking sheet and allow to cool, about 30 minutes. Once cooled, break mixture into chunks and store in an airtight container.

TROPICAL POPCORN SNACK MIX

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
• First pop the 1/2 cup unpopped corn kernels, then set aside.
• In a heavy saucepan, put the butter, corn syrup, cream of coconut, and brown sugar. Boil over moderate heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Combine the popcorn, coconut, dates, dried pineapples and dried banana chips in a large plastic bowl sprayed with non-stick spray. (That works best-the plastic bowl, as the syrup will not stick to the sides if you spray it first, making it easier to combine the ingredients.).
• Stir to mix and pour onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 30 minutes.
