Lip-smacking Popcorn Concoction

Ingredients

• Servings: 20
• 2 envelopes microwave popcorn without butter, popped
• 4 cups corn cereal puffs (e.g. kix™)
• 1 (10.5 ounce) bag extruded corn chips (e.g. fritos™)
• 2 (2.25 ounce) packages blanched slivered almonds
• 2 cups thin pretzel sticks
• 1 pound vanilla flavored confectioners' coating

Recipe

Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 3 mins Ready Time: 23 mins


• cover a large flat surface with waxed paper. in a large bowl, stir together the popcorn, cereal, corn chips, almonds, and pretzels.
• melt the confectioners' coating in a glass bowl in the microwave for 1 minute. continue to cook at 30 second intervals, stirring between each one, until the coating is smooth.
• pour melted coating over the cereal mixture. it's best to use a large metal spoon, and pour 1 or 2 spoonfuls at a time then mix to ensure even distribution. (a second person can be useful here - one to pour, one to mix.) once everything is coated, spread the mixture out onto waxed paper in a thin layer. let stand for about 1/2 hour, or until coating is dry. transfer to a bowl to serve, or store in an airtight container.
