Easy Coconut Caramel Snack Mix

Ingredients
- 3 cups of popped popcorn
- 2 cups of pretzel sticks
- 1 cup of shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1 cup of caramel sauce
- 1 cup of mixed nuts (optional)
- 1 teaspoon of sea salt
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to avoid any sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the popped popcorn, pretzel sticks, shredded coconut, and mixed nuts if you’re using them. Give it a good toss to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the caramel sauce until it’s nice and pourable. Be careful not to let it get too hot; you just want it to be smooth.
- Once the caramel is ready, pour it over the snack mixture in the bowl. Use a spatula to gently fold the mixture together, ensuring that every piece is coated in the sticky goodness of the caramel.
- Spread the coated mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle a little extra caramel sauce on top and sprinkle with sea salt for that perfect sweet-salty contrast.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye on it, as you don’t want the coconut to burn.
- Once it’s done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it cool completely. Once cooled, break it apart into snack-sized pieces.
Your Easy Coconut Caramel Snack Mix is now ready to be enjoyed! Store it in an airtight container for later or share with friends and family—if you can manage not to eat it all yourself. Happy snacking!
