- 16 ounces white candy melts
- 12 cups popped popcorn about ½ c. kernels
- 2 cups pretzels rods
- 2 cups dry roasted peanuts
- 10.9 ounces Spring M&Ms (1 package)
Place popcorn in a large mixing bowl. Mix in pretzels and peanuts.
Melt CandiQuik according to package directions. Pop over mixture in bowl and mix until coated. Pour mixture onto waxed paper and spread out to cool and dry. Immediately sprinkle M&Ms on mixture, slightly pressing them down so they stick.
Store in airtight container.
- As long as it's kept in an airtight container it will last for up to five days at room temperature.
- My recipe has peanuts, so if you are worried about allergies you can substitute roasted almonds or walnuts instead – they both work!
