Ingredients
Base:
- 2 cups of popcorn (popped)
- 1 cup of pretzel bites or sticks
- 1 cup of chocolate-covered candies (like M&M’s or Reese’s Pieces)
- 1 cup of mini marshmallows
- 1 cup of nuts (almonds, peanuts, or cashews)
Sweet Coating:
- 1 cup of white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons of coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- A pinch of sea salt
Optional Add-Ins:

Instructions
- Prepare the Base:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the popped popcorn, pretzel bites, chocolate-covered candies, mini marshmallows, and nuts. Mix well to ensure an even distribution.
- Make the Sweet Coating:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until melted and smooth.
- Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt.
- Combine:
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the snack mix. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently toss everything together, ensuring all the mix is coated with the chocolate.
- Let It Set:
- Spread the Sweet Cheeks Mix onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow it to cool for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
- Serve:
- Break apart any large clumps and transfer the mix to a serving bowl or individual bags for a grab-and-go snack.
