The ultimate sweet-and-salty mashup—perfect for spring adventures and sunny-day snacking!
This Honey Bee Snack Mix is the ultimate mashup of crunchy, sweet, and just a little salty. Made with homemade buttered honey popcorn, pretzels, yogurt raisins, and a honey-white chocolate drizzle, it’s like sunshine in a bowl.
FAQ
Q: Can I use microwave popcorn instead of plain popcorn? Yes! Just be sure it’s unflavored or lightly salted so the honey-butter flavor still shines.
Q: How long does this mix stay fresh?
Store it in an airtight container and enjoy within 3–4 days for best crunch and flavor.
Q: Can I skip the white chocolate drizzle?
You can, but it adds a sweet finishing touch that brings all the flavors together. A light drizzle goes a long way!
Q: Is there a nut-free version?
Swap the honey-roasted almonds for more pretzels or use sunflower seeds if you need a nut-free option.
Sprinkle of Fun
This snack mix was made for a picnic! Pack it in small jars or containers, grab a real picnic basket (the super cute kind with a handle), and head to a nearby park or lake. Bring a big blanket, your favorite drinks, and something simple to read or play. It’s an easy way to slow down and enjoy the sunshine—with something sweet to snack on of course 😉
