Carlee’s Tips and Tricks:
This recipe works well with air popped popcorn. You can use a bag of microwave popcorn if you would like, but it will be saltier and will get soft faster.
Be sure not to scorch the white chocolate candy melts. Put them in a small glass bowl and microwave at 50% power in 30 second spurts.
Stir the chocolate after each trip to the microwave and warming it once it stirs smooth. You can drizzle the melted chocolate with a spoon or use a piping bag if you find that easier.

Feel free to experiment with different flavors of chocolate. Using regular chocolate instead of white chocolate would be delicious or try dark chocolate.
Using mint chocolate would be delicious, or try using crushed candy canes instead of sprinkles if you want to add a little peppermint to the mix.
You can easily adapt this recipe for other holidays and occasions by just changing the color of the M&Ms and sprinkles as well.
I hope you dig in some while watching your favorite Christmas movies. It is such a festive snack.
