Microwave Butterscotch Peanut Snack Mix Delight

Ingredients

- 1 cup salted peanuts
- 1 cup m&m’s
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1. Prepare Your Ingredients:
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the salted peanuts, m&m’s, butterscotch chips, chopped pecans, and mini marshmallows. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.

2. Mix Sugars and Salt:
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, turbinado sugar, light brown sugar, and salt until thoroughly combined.

3. Coat the Snack Mix:
- Pour the sugar mixture over the nut and candy mix in the large bowl. Toss thoroughly to ensure each piece is coated with the sugar mixture.

4. Microwave Cooking:
- Place the bowl in the microwave and cook on high for 1 minute (PT1M).
- Remove the bowl and stir the mixture to prevent clumping. Return the bowl to the microwave and heat for an additional 1 minute (PT1M). Total microwave time is 2 minutes (PT2M).

5. Cooling the Mix:
- Spread the heated snack mix onto a large piece of parchment paper on the countertop to cool. This step will help the sugars set and the mix to become wonderfully crunchy.

6. Serve:
- Once completely cooled, break apart any clumps and serve in a large bowl. Enjoy your sweet and salty snack!
