Ingredients
DIPPED COOKIES & CREAM SNACK MIX
- 2 tbsp popcorn kernels
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Pinch salt
- ½ cup roasted peanut nuts
- ½ cup roasted cashews
- 2 Quest Dipped Cookies and Cream Bars
- ¼ cup freeze dried strawberries, broken into small pieces
- 9oz sugar free white chocolate chips
Method
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Place the popcorn, oil and salt into a medium pot with a lid and turn on low–medium heat and wait for the kernels to start popping.
- Stay close and give the pot a shake every so often to make sure the popcorn doesn’t burn.
- The kernels should yield about 2 cups of popcorn. Place them into a large mixing bowl with the peanuts, cashews, Quest bar pieces and freeze strawberries and combine.
- Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler (glass bowl over a pot of simmering water) and then add it to the snack mix.
- Use a large rubber spatula to combine until everything is evenly coated.
- Place the mixture onto the baking sheet in an even layer and chill until solid. Break into 18 medium sized pieces and serve.
