This white chocolate party mix recipe is a crowd-pleasing snack that works for parties, gifts, and movie nights.
This white chocolate party mix is one of those easy recipes I make on repeat.
It is perfect for office parties, movie nights with the kids, or casual get-togethers with friends.
I love keeping the party mix ingredients on hand so I can throw it together quickly when plans pop up at the last minute.
The party mix recipe comes together quickly, tastes fantastic, and always disappears faster than expected.

Flavor Twists

Packaging
While this party mix is great to snack on right out of a bowl, it is also fun to package into personal-sized servings!
I already had some paper favor bags that I filled with some party mix.
Fold the top over and close with a paper clip.
To make it even cuter, I printed cute little tags that say "enjoy" and taped them onto the paper clip.
I think they turned out so cute!
