Peppermint Crunch Mix
- 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)
- Heat oven to 350u0b0.
- Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.
- Mix popcorn and cereal in large bowl; set aside.
- Place marshmallow creme 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.
