Sorry Caramel Corn. There's A New Kid In Town!

  Warning: Highly Addictive!
White Chocolate Covered Popcorn Mix
Recipe courtesy of Rebecca Ahlander, neighbor and friend.
Stuff You'll Need:
5-6 quarts air-popped popcorn
2-3 lbs. white chocolate coins
3-5 standard size Twix bars, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 to 1 1/2 cups pretzel sticks (I snapped them in half)
1/4 to 1/2 cups peanut M&Ms (seasonal colors are pretty cool)
You can eyeball the amount of candy you add. The mixture is pretty sweet with the melted chocolate alone, so it doesn't need a ton of added sweetness.
What To Do:
After popcorn is transferred into a couple of large bowls. Melt the chocolate coins in the microwave. Pour chocolate evenly over popcorn and stir gently to coat. Sprinkle a little bit of salt to enhance the salty flavor with the sweet flavor. Gently toss in the Twix pieces and add some pretzels. Transfer mixture to 2 cookie sheets lined with wax paper/parchment and spread out in a layer. Lastly, add the M&Ms, dropping in small handfuls at a time. Allow chocolate to set up and transfer to a bowl or clear cellophane sacks.
