Start by laying out your popped popcorn on a baking tray. This gives you a nice, even surface to work with and keeps your workspace tidy.
Next, break up half of the pretzels into smaller pieces. Sprinkle both the broken and whole pretzel pieces over the popcorn. The combination of popcorn and pretzels adds that perfect crunch and salty flavor to balance the sweetness!
Now, it’s time to add some color! Spread the red and green M&Ms over your popcorn mix. This is what gives your Christmas Popcorn that festive flair.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white candy wafers. Microwave them in increments of 30 seconds, stirring in between until they’re fully melted and smooth. This will be the delicious coating that brings all the ingredients together!
Drizzle the melted candy wafers over your popcorn mixture, and then sprinkle on the red and green sprinkles. Give everything a good toss to ensure all the ingredients stick together.
Once everything is mixed, grab a handful (or two!) and enjoy your festive Christmas Popcorn! You can also package it up in festive bags for gifts or as party favors.
