During the holidays we're always working with Pretzels and candy coatings... the question is
WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE BROKEN ONES
and LEFTOVER CANDY COATINGS??
We make a Popcorn snack mix of course
:: Ingredients ::
2 pkgs Plain Microwave Popcorn {or 1/2 cup popcorn kernels}
Vanilla Almond Bark (or 12 oz. bag Vanilla Candy Melts )
1 1/3 cups broken Pretzel Pieces
1 (12 oz) bag Green and Red Milk Chocolate M&Ms
Red, Green and White Sprinkles
Note: Mini Marshmellows, Mint M&M's,
Raisins, and Salted Peanuts also a great addition
:: Directions ::
1 - Pop popcorn in a popcorn popper into a large bowl
(or alternately in the microwave if using UNBUTTERED microwave bags of popcorn) according to manufactures directions.
Remove any unpopped popcorn kernels.
2 - Toss in broken pretzel pieces and M&Ms etc...
3 - Melt Vanilla Almond Bark in a microwave safe bowl on 50% power in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until melted and smooth.
4 - Drizzle half of melted almond bark over popcorn mixture, then stir, tossing gently a few times with a rubber spatula. Then drizzle remaining half of melted almond bark over popcorn, and gently stir mixture until evenly coated (don't over stir though or your sprinkles wont stick if the white chips begin to set and harden).
5 - Pour mixture into a single layer onto wax paper. Sprinkle entire mixture evenly with sprinkles (as many as you'd like) before vanilla almond bark sets.
6 - Allow to cool and harden, then gently break into pieces and store in an airtight container.
