Easy Party Popcorn

Who doesn’t love a good party?!

The bigger question is…who doesn’t love a good party treat?

This is my go to party snack (of course it involves popcorn), especially if I need something quick.  I love that you can just change out the colors to fit any holiday or party theme. It’s easy to make as little or as much as you want and it is a great gift.  Just put some in a cute bag with a fun ribbon and tag, and you are set. This could not be any easier! Perfect for a snack before your party gets started, or as part of your dessert bar!

Let’s just hope there is some leftover for you to snack on after the party ends!

Easy Party Popcorn
Popcorn
M&Ms
Rice chex cereal
pretzels
sprinkles
candy melts (I like to use Wiltons)

Mix popcorn, chex mix,  and pretzels in a large mixing bowl. Heat up candy melts in the microwave, start with a minute, and then do 15-30 seconds after, while stirring in between each time until melts are completely smooth and creamy.  Pour over mixture making sure everything gets coated. Spread mixture out on baking sheets lined with parchment or wax paper Sprinkle the M&Ms and sprinkles over mixture while it is still wet, gently pressing the candy into the soft candy melts, and then let it sit until completely set. Break up party mix, stick it in a bowl or party bags and serve.

What would you add to this mix to make it perfect for your party? Comment below!
