I decided to take a break from baking today and make this pretty popcorn, pretzel mix that I’m calling Christmas Crunch. I found this recipe on Pinterest. Love Pinterest! This would make a great homemade gift. It’s also super easy so that the kids can make it with help with the melting part. It tastes yummy!

1/2 cup popcorn kernels, 2 quarts popped
1 (12 oz) bag Vanilla Candy Melts
1 1/3 cups small pretzel pieces I found some cute shaped Christmas pretzels at Walmart
1 (12 oz) bag mini M&Ms

In a large bowl add the popcorn(make sure you remove any unpopped kernels), pretzels and M&Ms.

On the stove top or in the microwave melt the vanilla candy melts. Using 50% powers so you melt it slow and even. Stir every 30 seconds until melted.

Pour half the the melted candy over the popcorn and mix.

Add the rest of the melted candy and mix gently until evenly coated.

Spread on a parchment lined cookie sheet.

Sprinkle with sprinkles as much or a little as you like.

Let cool. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
