Ingredients

  • 2 bags Popcorn made per the package instructions
  • 1 cup Pretzels broken into small pieces
  • 1 bag White Candy Melts 12 oz bag
  • 1 bag Green and Red M&Ms
  • Christmas Sprinkles

  • Pop the popcorn based on the bag instructions and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Spread the popcorn over the parchment paper. Sprinkle the broken pretzel pieces on top and gently mix them into the popcorn with your hands.
  • Place the candy melts in a microwave safe dish.  Heat in 20 second intervals (stirring after each one) until the melts are fully melted.
  • Drizzle half of the melted candy over the popcorn mixture and gently toss with a rubber spatula to coat the mixture with the candy melts.
  • Pour the remaining candy melts over the popcorn mixture and Sprinkle the M&Ms and Christmas Sprinkles on top.
  • Let the mixture cool completely so that the candy can harden.  Then break into pieces and serve.

Notes
