Party popcorn mix

Green Party Popcorn Mix- Mallory Johnson
7 cups popped popcorn
1 cup pretzels
1 bag white chips for melting (or you can use colored candy melts)
1 Bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup honey roasted peanuts
1/2 cup green M&M's (I obviously bought a bag and picked out the green ones)
Decorating sprinkles
Food coloring (I used wilton coloring
)
*You can change this recipe to whatever color you need.

To start, I melted my white chocolate in my wilton chocolate melter and dipped half of the pretzel in, place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and sprinkle with colored sugar. I put some sugar down before so both side would have sprinkles.

Next pop your popcorn, however you do it. Some people color their popcorn, I chose not to. I used about 6 cups.

Once your popcorn has been popped, spread it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spread you m&m's and honey roasted peanuts.

I had white chocolate still in my metler so I used half of what was left and drizzled it over the mix with a spoon (if you add a tiny bit of oil it makes the chocolate a bit easier to drizzle and super glossy). With the remainder of the white chocolate I added some of the wilton green coloring, mixed it together and drizzled that over the mix. While the chocolate was still wet I sprinkled with the white nonpareils. Next I melted my semi sweet chocolate, added the tiny bit of oil and drizzled it, while that was still wet I sprinkled it with the green sugar, then added the pretzels.
