Hot Honey Nut Caramel Popcorn Snack Mix

Hot Honey Nut Caramel Popcorn Snack Mix

This snack mix was created after realizing that I had lots of ingredients left over from other recipes – all of which just happened to be really delicious together.

First, the idea of hot honey “buttered” popcorn came to mind. Then the crunchy nuts and creamy caramel bites came along for the ride, and then this crave-worthy little snacky-snack quickly came to be!

Four simple ingredients are all you need:

• Popped popcorn – I used Angie’s Boom Chicka Pop with Sea Salt
• Honey-roasted Peanuts – I used Planters
• Caramel bits – Kraft Caramel Bits work well. They’re about the size of a pea, and there’s no un-wrapping involved.
• Hot Honey

Kitchen Tools Needed:

• Parchment-lined baking pan
• Large mixing bowl
• Spatula or wide spoon

ENJOY!

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 300F.

2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl, and stir well to coat everything with hot honey.

4. Spread snack mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 3 - 5 minutes. Remove pan from oven and toss the ingredients, making sure that the caramel bits are softened, but not melted.
