All elves love mischief munch to snack on during the holiday season
Elves loves treats too. Create magical holiday memories that include your elf sharing sweets and munchies. While it is fun to have the treat already made and ready to eat, it might also be stellar to leave the ingredients with the recipe too!
Ingredients
- 8 oz white candy melts
- ½ c unpopped corn or 6 c popped corn
- 1 c pretzels
- ⅓ c mini M&M candies
- 1 T holiday sprinkles
Directions
Pop the popcorn, if needed. Spread over an 11×17 baking sheet with sides. Discard kernels as best as possible. Top with the pretzel pieces.
Heat the candy melts in a microwave safe bowl, heating for 30 seconds at a time and stirring well between each interval, until all the melts are smooth.
Drizzle the white melts over the popcorn and pretzels.
Sprinkle with the mini M&M candies and the holiday sprinkles.
Toss to coat thoroughly.
Allow to set for approximately 30 minutes or until the white chocolate firms up.
Break apart into pieces and serve.
