Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons (57 g / 2.01 oz) butter
  • 4 tablespoons (60 ml / 2 fl oz) condensed mushroom soup
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon / 1.25g (0.04 oz) dried parsley flakes
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon / 1.25g (0.04 oz) dried thyme
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon / 1.25g (0.04 oz) red pepper flakes, plus more for garnish
  • 4 cups (960 ml) store-bought caramel popcorn
  • 2 cups (480 ml) pretzel mix
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based butter and a vegan cream of mushroom soup alternative.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days for maximum freshness.
  • Customize your mix by adding a cup of roasted nuts like pecans or almonds, or toss in some chocolate chips after the mixture has cooled completely.
  • To prevent breaking the popcorn and pretzels, use a large spatula and a gentle folding motion when combining the .

Method
 

  1. In a small frying pan or saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
  2. Once the butter begins to melt, stir in the condensed mushroom soup until combined.
  3. Add the dried parsley, thyme, and red pepper flakes to the pan, stirring well to incorporate the spices into the sauce.
  4. Place the caramel popcorn in a large mixing bowl.
  5. Pour the warm soup mixture over the popcorn, tossing gently but thoroughly to ensure an even coating.
  6. Gently fold in the pretzel mix until it is well distributed.
  7. Transfer the mix to a serving bowl, sprinkle with extra red pepper flakes if desired, and serve immediately.
