Easter Popcorn

Easter Popcorn combines popped popcorn, crunchy pretzels, and colorful M&Ms for a delightful treat. This recipe is simple, fun to make, and brings a festive spirit to any gathering, making it perfect for holidays or family snacks.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 cups lightly salted popped popcorn
  • 1 cup pretzel twists (broken into pieces)
  • ½ cup roasted and salted peanuts or cashews
  • 1 (11-oz) bag white candy melts or white chocolate chips
  • 1 (8-oz) bag bunny shaped marshmallows (or regular mini marshmallows)
  • 1 (10-oz) bag pastel blend m&ms
  • ½ cup pink candy melts
  • Easter sprinkles (as needed)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the popcorn, broken pretzels, and nuts. If the popcorn was freshly popped, ensure it has cooled completely.
  2. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and spraying it with cooking spray.
  3. Melt the white candy melts according to the package instructions. If using a microwave, stir every 20 seconds to prevent burning.
  4. Once melted, pour the white chocolate over the popcorn mixture and mix gently with two wooden spoons. Stir in the marshmallows and three quarters of the M&Ms.
  5. Spread the coated popcorn evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Melt the pink candy melts. Using a pastry bag, squeeze bottle, or a spoon, drizzle the melted candy over the popcorn. Immediately top with the remaining M&Ms and the sprinkles.
  7. Allow the popcorn mixture to cool completely before breaking it into pieces for serving.

Notes

For a fun twist, use colorful candy melts to match different holidays.
Store in an airtight container to keep it fresh for a longer time.
Feel free to substitute any nuts or candy varieties based on your preference.
