Ingredients
8–10 c lightly buttered, popped, and salted popcorn (homemade or microwave)
1/2 c white cake mix powder
16 oz white chocolate, melted (or almond bark or candy melts)
1/2 c Christmas sprinkles
1 c holiday M&M candies
Instructions
Line a sheet pan, with parchment or waxed paper.
In a bag mix together the popcorn, M&Ms and cake mix powder. Shake the bag thoroughly to ensure a coating on the popcorn.
Spread the popcorn mixture onto the pan.
Drizzle half of the melted chocolate over it then gently toss. Sprinkle half of the Christmas sprinkles on top. Repeat this process with the remaining chocolate and sprinkles.
Let the mixture cool and harden, for 30 minutes.
Once set break up your munch into pieces. Store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh and enjoy them whenever you like!
Notes
Transforming this festive Christmas Munch into a gluten-free delight is easy and just as delicious! For those who are sensitive to gluten or prefer a gluten-free diet, this small tweak will ensure everyone can indulge in this holiday treat without worry.
Replace the regular white cake mix powder with a gluten-free cake mix – there are many fantastic brands out there that offer the same sweet, cakey flavor without the gluten. When selecting your popcorn, opt for plain kernels you can pop yourself, or check the labels on microwave varieties to ensure they’re gluten-free. The same goes for white chocolate and holiday M&Ms – a quick label check can confirm they’re safe for a gluten-free diet.
