Merry Crunchmix Popcorn Recipe
I have a super fun, easy to alter recipe to create some Holiday Crunch that the whole family can enjoy! The recipe was originally created by Kraft (who also has a ton of other great recipes there they want you to know about) and altered a bit to what I had here at home.
1) My family version
- 7 cups popped popcorn
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine
- 3 Tbsp. light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 pkg. (3 oz.) JELL-O Cherry Gelatin
- sprinkle of white chocolate chips and marshmallows
2) Original Merry CrunchMix Recipe Ingredients here:
- 7 cups popped popcorn
- 1 cup small pretzel twists
- 1 cup PLANTERS Cashews
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine
- 3 Tbsp. light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 pkg. (3 oz.) JELL-O Black Cherry Flavor Gelatin
Instructions are about the same regardless.
HEAT oven to 300°F.
LINE 15x10x1-inch pan with foil or waxed paper. Combine popcorn, pretzels and nuts (or if you are using my version, popcorn, marshmallows, walnuts and white chocolate chips)
COOK butter and syrup in saucepan on low heat until butter is melted. Add sugar and dry gelatin mix; cook and stir 2 min. or until gelatin is completely dissolved. Bring to boil on medium heat; simmer on low heat 5 min. Pour over popcorn mixture; toss to evenly coat. Add to prepared pan; use 2 forks to spread into even layer. Sprinkle on a few more marshmallows (My version)
BAKE 10 min.; cool. Break into small pieces.

Oh yum. I know many people that would love this on Christmas. Guess I’ll be making a yummy treat!
That looks like something my kids would love to eat!
That looks really good. I would have never thought to have use Cherry Gelatin. Yum.
Oh boy I do love popcorn and I am not allowed to eat it. Tempting…Oh what the heck I’ll make it for the kids.
That looks really fun AND delicious!
My kids would eat this right up! I made popcorn balls in a similar fashion. Thanks for the recipe!
How crazy is this! Never in a million years would I come up with this idea for jello. Love the bright color!
Yummy!!
What a wonderful treat that would make to send with the kids to school!
Wow this looks so tasty and festive for the holidays! I am totally pinning! Thanks!
This is super cute. I might add green sprinkles on top to make it extra fancy.
Omgosh, CUTE idea! I love that.
I love the bright color. I’d leave out the walnuts though. Do you think peanuts might be alright?
Yes I think peanuts or cashews would be fine! I just prefer walnuts
