Funfetti Popcorn

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unpopped popcorn kernels, or 2 bags tender white popcorn
  • 12 oz Plain Vanilla Candy Melts, such as Wilton
  • 1 1/3 cups pretzel squares, broken into pieces
  • 1 bag plain Milk Chocolate M&Ms or Mini M&Ms
  • Multicolored Sprinkles, about 1/4 – 1/3 of a 2 oz. container

Directions

  1. Make the popcorn in a popcorn popper, catching it in a large bowl, or cook microwave bags in the microwave according to the manufacturer's directions. Fish out any kernels that did not pop. Add the broken pretzel pieces and M&Ms, and toss them through the popcorn.
  2. Put the Vanilla Candy Melts in a microwave safe bowl and heat on HIGH power in 30 second intervals, stirring after each round, until smooth and fully melted.
  3. Pour half of the melted chips over the popcorn mixture, then use a rubber spatula to fold and toss it gently a few times. Add the remaining half of the melted chips over the popcorn, and stir softly until everything is evenly coated. Go easy here; if the white coating starts to firm up, the sprinkles will have nothing to cling to.
  4. Spread the mixture out in a single layer on wax paper. Scatter the sprinkles evenly over all of it before the vanilla chips set. Let it cool until firm, then carefully break it into pieces and keep it in an airtight container.
