Ingredients
- 2 cups popcorn (popped)
- 1 cup mini pretzels
- 1 cup nuts (your choice: almonds, walnuts, or pecans)

- 1 cup toasted coconut flakes (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil

Instructions
- Pop the corn: Start off by popping your popcorn. You can use an air popper or go old school with the stove-top method. Toss the fluffy kernels in a large mixing bowl, checking for any unpopped kernels.
- Mix it up: Toss in the mini pretzels, your choice of nuts, chocolate candies, dried fruit, and optional toasted coconut flakes. Mix well.
- Add flavor: In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter or coconut oil with vanilla extract. Drizzle over the snack mix and toss to coat.
- Seasoning time: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the mix for balance.
- Chill out: For extra crunch, spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes, or enjoy immediately.
- Serve & enjoy: Serve in a big bowl, cuddle up, and dig in!
