Why We Love This Trolls Birthday Party Snack Mix Recipe (Unicorn Too!)
We decided that this year my girl’s present would be her birthday party. She had been asking for a “party with all of her friends” and last year we had a girl’s day out with the bestie. (That is equally as fun, don’t get me wrong!) This year though my girl is a bit Trolls obsessed and I jumped at the chance to make some bright and colorful food for the party.
The mix of sweet and salty will be calling your name and the name of all of the kids. I used a mix of kid-friendly toasted o-shaped cereal and pretzels for this mix. You could mix in all kinds of extras if you like but I kept mine simple.
Ingredients For Trolls Party Mix

- pretzels I used waffle shaped pretzels
- turquoise blue candy melts
- pink candy melts
- coconut oil
- cereal I used Cheerios
- Chocolate Candies I used M&Ms
So the most important part of this mix that makes this party mix feel like Trolls or unicorns is the color of the chocolate melts. I picked up my turquoise and pink chocolate melts at Michaels, but you can usually find them in the cake decorating section of any craft store.
The Trick To Making Your Troll’s Party Mix Recipe Stay Together
Another trick I use (and you are going to want to also!) is to add coconut oil to the chocolate to make it nice and drizzletastic. Is that a real verb? It is now.
I melt my chocolates in the microwave for a minute on defrost, stir, and then continue adding about twenty seconds at a time until melted.
Once the chocolate is melted stir in about a teaspoon of coconut oil, and pop it back in the microwave for another twenty seconds, then stir again.
Now that you know the tricks, the rest is smooth sailing. Layer your pretzels, drizzle some chocolate…. Layer your cereal, drizzle some more chocolate and pop a few chocolate candies on top, I used pink and white M&M style chocolate candies.
Then whisk it away to the freezer or the fridge so it hardens. Leave it in there for at least fifteen minutes in the freezer, twenty in the fridge, and then break it apart into chunks.
Tah-dah, you are a Trolls party mix expert!
This Trolls birthday party snack mix recipe was almost completely gone at the end of the party. It was a big hit! A friend of mine is already talking about making it as a unicorn party mix for her daughter’s party, which means it was a definite winner! Is your kid a Trolls or a unicorn fan?
