Notes
This trail mix thrives on fresh, quality components. Ensure your popcorn is freshly popped and crisp, not stale, for the best texture. For optimal flavor balance, consider a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt, which beautifully contrasts the sweetness. While simple, resist over-mixing, as delicate popcorn can crumble. For textural variety, experiment with different pretzel shapes or add candied nuts. To elevate presentation, layering the ingredients in a clear glass jar makes for an attractive display or a thoughtful gift. Store in an airtight container immediately to maintain crunch and prevent staleness, especially in humid environments. For a gourmet twist, a light drizzle of melted white chocolate and a sprinkle of freeze-dried raspberries can add visual appeal and a tangy counterpoint.
