Notes

  • One recipe makes approximately 32 cups of Christmas Crunch. 
  • To avoid getting unpopped kernels in your mix, shake the popcorn bag well so all the kernels fall to the bottom, and then add the popcorn by the handful.
  • Let the chocolate cool all the way before you transfer the mix into containers or bags.
  • Store it in a cool, dry place to avoid the chocolate melting.
