Holiday Popcorn

December 21, 2012 By Liz Houck Leave a Comment

Holiday parties are abound and I love having some recipes in my back pocket that are easy to put together and still fun to serve.  When I have parties I like there to be plenty of finger foods for guests to munch on while I prepare the main event.  This recipe is super easy and keeps quite well in an air-tight container so you can prepare it up to two days ahead of time without worrying about it getting stale.
This time I made this holiday themed this time by adding in the pistachios and cranberries for the hint of red and green.  You can really do about anything with it.  Little bits of candy bars, red hots, candy corns, anything your heart desires can be mixed in with the popcorn to make this fun finger food for your party.
So feel free to experiment with this and see what you come up with.  If you come up with something great let me know – I’m always looking for new ideas.

Popcorn Mix Recipe

Ingredients
yields 7 cups snack mix
6 cup air popped popcorn
1 t. salt
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, melted
1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted
1/2 cup nuts (I used pistachios)
1/2 cup dried fruit or candies (I used carnberries)
Directions
1) Pop popcorn.  Spread evenly out on a sheet pan.  
2) Drizzle melted chocolate on time, while the chocolate is still soft sprinkle with salt, nuts, and fruit.
It’s as easy as that! 🙂
