Saint Patrick’s Day Snack Mix Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 cups popped popcorn
- 3 cups pretzels
- 1 cup blanched and salted peanuts
- 1-1/2 cups white chocolate chips
- Green Candies – I used Betty Crocker Candy Shop Chocolate Flavored Candies, 1 package 2.2 oz
- Green and White Sprinkles – I used the Wilton Brand
If you aren’t sure where to get the candies and sprinkles for this or other recipes, check out Amazon! They have a huge assortment of all kinds of cake decorating supplies! You can even find popcorn and candy too! Of course, you can also find all kinds of really cute Saint Patrick’s day holiday decor, little goodie bags, you name it! Amazon seems to have just about everything these days, don’t they?
Directions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and then set it aside. In a large mixing bowl, add your popcorn, the pretzels, and peanuts. Stir the mixture to ensure that all of these ingredients are evenly distributed!
In a small glass bowl, add the white chocolate chips. Microwave the chocolate chips on high power for 60 seconds, then remove the bowl from the microwave and stir it well. Return the glass bowl to the microwave and microwave it on high power again for 20 seconds. Stir the chocolate until it is completely melted and smooth. There should not be ANY chunks in the chocolate. If additional heating of the white chocolate is necessary to completely melt it down, return the glass bowl to the microwave in 20 second increments, making sure to stir it after each increment. If the chocolate scorches, it will be unusable, so pay close attention!
Pour the melted chocolate slowly over the snack mix in bowl and stir it really well to combine it all together. You want to make sure that it is all evenly coated with the chocolate so that every little bite is utterly delicious! Add in the candies candies and stir it gently, making sure not to break up the popcorn. No one ones a tiny piece of popcorn, we all want nice fat, fluffy popcorn pieces! YUM!
Pour snack mix onto prepared pan and spread out. Sprinkle with green and white sprinkles. Let set for about 30 minutes until chocolate is hard. Break apart and enjoy!

If you’re interested in reading about the week I spent in Ireland in 2017, check these articles out! I spent one day in Dublin, then headed off to a Ring of Kerry small group tour with Rabbies Tours – and it was amazing! My favorite part of the tour was the two days I spent in Killarney.
Then I went back to Dublin, where I caught my flight home to Miami…and suffice it say, I left a little bit of my heart in Ireland and I can’t wait to go back for a second, third, fourth…well, you get it! I want to go back as often as possible! As lovely as my tour through the Ring of Kerry was, I can’t wait to see the rest of the country!
