Ingredients

  • 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)

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

  • 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!
RECIPE VARIATIONS
You don’t have to wait until Easter to make this! With a few swaps, you can customize it for any holiday!
