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

Merry Crunchmas Christmas Popcorn mix, fun recipe and perfect for a Christmas Eve Movie Treat- Get the recipe here

  • 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.

    This is super cute. I might add green sprinkles on top to make it extra fancy.

    I love the bright color. I’d leave out the walnuts though. Do you think peanuts might be alright?

    • trisha haas says

      December 8, 2013 at 3:07 pm

      Yes I think peanuts or cashews would be fine! I just prefer walnuts
