  • 12 oz Candy Melts White or Colored
  • 1 Cup Pretzels
  • 1 Cup Pink M&Ms.
  • 2 Drops Pink Coloring Optional
  • Sprinkles Nonpareils, or Holiday-Shaped Candies

Instructions
 

Prepare the Popcorn:

  • Pop the popcorn and remove any unpopped kernels. Divide into two equal halves.

Melt the Candy Melts:

  • Divide candy melts into two bowls.
  • Microwave the first bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  • Toss the first batch of popcorn with the melted candy and mix thoroughly with a spatula to coat.
  • Color the Second Batch:
  • Add pink food coloring to the second bowl of candy melts and melt as before.
  • Toss the second batch of popcorn with the colored candy and mix well.

Combine:

  • Add pretzels and M&Ms to the coated popcorn while the candy coating is still wet.
  • Spread the mixture on wax paper in an even layer.

Decorate:

  • Drizzle any remaining candy melts over the popcorn mixture.
  • Sprinkle with nonpareils, sprinkles, or holiday-themed candies.

Cool and Break:

  • Allow the mixture to cool and set completely. Once firm, break into bite-sized pieces.
