Ingredients

  • 3 cups (30 grams) popped popcorn
  • 4 cups (108 grams) Rice Chex cereal or similar product
  • 1 cup (64 grams) pretzel twists
  • 1/2 cup (70 grams) roasted cashews
  • 2/3 cup (173 grams) peanut butter or your favorite nut or seed butter
  • 3 tablespoons (42 grams) salted butter
  • 2-3 tablespoons (20-30 grams) holiday sprinkles
  • 2 cups (240 grams) powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Place the popcorn, cereal, pretzels and cashews into a gallon-size (3.8 liters) resealable plastic bag. Set aside.

  • Pour the peanut butter mixture over the popcorn mixture, seal the bag and gently shake to coat everything in peanut butter.
  • Open the bag and add a few tablespoons (20 to 30 grams) of sprinkles, seal the bag and shake again.
  • Open the bag and add the powdered sugar, seal the bag and shake again.
  • Pour the snack mixture into a serving bowl and gently stir in the M&M's.
