Sweet and Salty Popcorn Snack Mix
We love tasty and easy snacks in our house. This sweet and salty popcorn mix is one of our favorite snack mixes. It is so easy to change up with whatever I have in the pantry and the kids love it.
With Football being a big thing in our house I wanted to make a fun popcorn snack mix that is festive for football season but can also be changed up to go with other themes as well. I change things up for different holidays, different parties we are having and to go with what I have on hand at the time and this recipe is perfect!
This snack mix is easy to make and you can totally get the kids involved. Sometimes I will split the popcorn into separate bowls so each kid can customize their own.
You can easily make this snack mix ahead of time and put it in baggies to give as treat bags at a birthday party or for packing in a lunch box!
