2 hrsGame day, road trip, after-school munchies, or just that 3pm slump at your desk. This snack mix handles all of it.
Pretzel sticks and peanuts get tossed in melted margarine, then mixed with air-popped popcorn, graham crackers, and raisins with a light dusting of cinnamon.
Salty, sweet, crunchy, and chewy in every handful.
It’s low-calorie enough that you won’t feel guilty reaching back into the bowl, and it stores in an airtight container so you can stash batches all week.
Kitchen Tips
- Air-popped popcorn keeps this light. Skip the microwave bags loaded with butter and sodium.
- Toss the pretzels and peanuts with the margarine first so the coating sticks to the heavier pieces before adding the delicate popcorn.
- Go easy on the cinnamon. A little goes a long way here. You want a warm whisper, not a cinnamon bomb.
