Ingredients

• 1/2 cup popping popcorn kernels, or 2 bags tender white popcorn
• 1 (12 oz) bag Vanilla Candy Melts (such as Wilton Candy Melts)
• 1 1/3 cups broken pretzel pieces
• 1 (12 oz) bag green and red Milk Chocolate or Mint M&Ms
• Red, green and white Sprinkles (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Pop popcorn in a popcorn popper into a large bowl (or alternately in the microwave if using microwave bags of popcorn) according to manufactures directions. Remove any unpopped popcorn kernels. Toss in broken pretzel pieces and M&Ms. I used store bought white already popped popcorn!

Melt Vanilla Candy Melts in a microwave safe bowl on 50% power in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until melted and smooth.

Pour mixture into a single layer onto wax paper. Sprinkle entire mixture evenly with sprinkles (if using sprinkles, I didn't) before vanilla chips set. Allow to cool and harden, then gently break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
