This is not my original idea however it was too cute not to share.
How to Make White Chocolate Popcorn Candy Mix
Pop fresh corn or purchase already popped corn, place in a buttered large baking tray. Melt candy bark in microwave, pour over popped corn. While popcorn is wet, coat each kernel if you can then sprinkle with Christmas sprinkles. I used red and green jimmies found at Hobby Lobby. Any Christmas sprinkle will work.
After candy has set, remove from pan, break into pieces and place in decorative tin, add red, green, white Holiday M & M’s, and holiday shaped pretzels. That’s It!
I ordered on-line the holiday shaped pretzels, they are in the shape of bells, Christmas trees, and snowflakes. They are so cute. Target had them earlier in the season but were sold out.
Also found out using white chocolate candy bark for dipping worked perfectly. Sometimes white chocolate chips harden to fast and not easy to melt. White chocolate is sweet so if you want to make the mix not so sweet, when adding the other candies add fresh popped corn to help balance the sweetness.
Whether you need a quick gift or for snacking this popcorn mix takes moment to make. You’re family and friends will love it.
