This easy sweet and salty snack mix is the ultimate game day crowd-pleaser, combining kettle corn, pretzels, peanuts, and chocolate chips in a savory seasoned butter. Ready in under 10 minutes, it’s the perfect last-minute snack for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups kettle corn
  • 2 cups mini pretzels
  • 1 cup roasted salted peanuts
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup honey roasted peanuts
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts until just melted. Do not let it boil.
  2. To the melted butter, add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine kettle corn, mini pretzels, roasted salted peanuts, and honey roasted peanuts. Toss to distribute evenly.
  4. Slowly drizzle the seasoned butter over the dry ingredients, tossing gently with a wooden spoon or spatula to coat evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips over the mix and toss gently again. The heat from the butter will slightly soften the chips.
  6. Optional: Spread the mix on a baking sheet and let rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set slightly.
  7. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free pretzels. For a nut-free version, substitute peanuts with roasted chickpeas or pumpkin seeds. If using salted butter, reduce or omit the added salt. The mix can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To revive crunch, spread on a baking sheet and warm in a 300°F oven for 5-7 minutes, then cool completely.
