  • 2 cups Chex cereal
  • 1 cup pretzel mini-twists
  • 1 cup. Lucky Charms cereal
  • ½ cup Lucky Charms mallow pieces only
  • ½ cup green candy covered chocolate ( M&M’s or similar)
  • ½ and ¼ cup funfetti or white cake mix*, divided
  • 12 oz. white candy melts**, melted
  • ¼ cup green, or rainbow, sprinkles

Method

  1. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment/ waxed paper and set aside until needed later
  2. In a large bowl combine the Chex cereal, pretzel mini-twists, Lucky Charms cereal, Lucky Charms mallow pieces and green chocolate candy
  3. In a separate bowl combine the melted white chocolate and ½ cup cake mix, stirring to combine
  4. Immediately pour the chocolate/cake mix mixture over the dry cereal mixture and use a spatula to combine.  Add the remaining ¼ cup of the cake mix and the sprinkles and stir or toss again to combine until thoroughly coated
  5. Spread onto prepared baking sheet in a single layer and top with some extra sprinkles if you like. Leave on the baking sheet until set and then break apart into small clusters. Serve and enjoy!

*Before using the cake batter mix, treat it in the oven by spreading it on a lined baking tray and toasting it at 350 F for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool. Once cooled, use as per the recipe above. One thing to note is that the sprinkles in the cake mix may discolour a little or melt a bit. More reason to add those extra sprinkles!

***White chocolate chips may be used as well but your final coated popcorn won’t set as hard or be as crunchy.
