Ingredients

  • 8 cups popped popcorn
  • 1 bag (12 oz) white vanilla baking chips
  • 3 to 5 drops blue gel food color

    In large bowl, add popcorn. In medium microwavable bowl, place vanilla baking chips. Microwave uncovered on High 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds or until chips can be stirred smooth. Add gel food color to the bowl; mix until evenly colored. Pour melted chip mixture over popcorn; mix well. Sprinkle with pudding mix and nonpareils; mix well to coat.

    Spread popcorn mixture in pans, separating popcorn pieces slightly. Let stand until set, about 30 minutes.

    Break into bite-size clusters. Transfer to large serving bowl. Stir in graham snacks.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Microwave white vanilla baking chips just until they start to melt to avoid having them seize because of overheating. Also, to have control over the look you want, start by mixing in a few dots of food color, then add more if needed.
  • tip 2
    Swap the blue with red gel food color to tint popcorn pink. Or, divide melted chips in half and tint some blue and some pink, for a fun snack to serve at a baby shower!
  • tip 3
    Store snack mix in airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
