Servings: 12 servings
Cost: $11.12
Equipment
- Large sheet pan (15" x 21")
- Parchment paper or aluminum foil or a silicone baking mat
Ingredients
- 10 cups popped popcorn unbuttered, see note 1
- 1 cup M&M’s pull out the greens, see note 2
- 1/3 cup miniature M&M’s pull out the greens, optional
- 1 cup Lucky Charms marshmallows see note 3
- 1 cup pretzel twists broken in half
- 2 cups white chocolate chips or white chocolate melts
- 1-1/2 teaspoons coconut oil or vegetable/canola oil
- 1 to 2 tablespoons green sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Line a large sheet pan with parchment, foil, or a silicone mat. Remove any unpopped kernels from the popcorn. Add popcorn to a very large bowl along with M&M’s, mini M&M’s if using, marshmallows, and broken pretzels.
- Add white chocolate and oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring well between each, until smooth. Do not overheat.
- Immediately pour melted chocolate over the popcorn mixture. Use a spatula to toss quickly until evenly coated.
- Spread onto the prepared pan in an even layer. While chocolate is still soft, add sprinkles if using. Let sit at room temperature or refrigerate until hardened. Break into pieces and serve.

Notes
Note 1: Store-bought saves a little time but costs more. If popping your own, use lightly salted microwave popcorn or stovetop kernels.
Note 2: Buy all green M&M’s or sort them from a regular bag ahead of time.
Note 3: You can either use Lucky Charms marshmallows from the Leprechaun Trap cereal or the original cereal. (I used the Leprechaun Trap cereal in the pictures.)
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Best within 1 to 2 days.
