About This Recipe
Chef Stephen Rogers has coined the term “blueberry popcorn” when describing freeze-dried blueberries, due to their satisfying, light crunch. A twist on this concept comes in the form of a blueberry “popcorn” snack mix with Marcona almonds, pistachios and fresh herbs. This elevated bar snack makes the perfect starter for a bunch to munch.
