POPCORN SNACK MIX (NO NUTS)



Popcorn Snack Mix (No Nuts) image

Adapted from Go for your life, I wanted a toddler friendly snack mix that would kind of fit the Halloween theme. I came up with this colourful combo. I also added some "Cocoa rocks" to this which added to the effect to look like stones. The kids devoured this at playgroup. You could also adapt this to fit the xmas theme by substituting apricots for dried cherries and adding some dried kiwi, dried peas or a lolly such as mint leaves or green smarties or M+M's.

TROPICAL POPCORN SNACK MIX



Tropical Popcorn Snack Mix image

This is somewhat healthy and totally different from the snack mixes you are used to. It has dried fruit and popcorn, giving you some fiber and fruit.

Provided by Redneck Epicurean

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 40m

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup cream of coconut (not coconut milk)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup popcorn, popped
1 cup coconut, toasted
1/2 cup cashews
1/2 cup dried pineapple
1/2 cup dried banana pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
  • First pop the 1/2 cup unpopped corn kernels, then set aside.
  • In a heavy saucepan, put the butter, corn syrup, cream of coconut, and brown sugar. Boil over moderate heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Combine the popcorn, coconut, dates, dried pineapples and dried banana chips in a large plastic bowl sprayed with non-stick spray. (That works best-the plastic bowl, as the syrup will not stick to the sides if you spray it first, making it easier to combine the ingredients.).
  • Stir to mix and pour onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 30 minutes.
