Popcorn and candy in a candy sauce. Great for the holidays! Not too chewy and won't stick to your teeth (unless you overcook the sauce)! You can customize the candy, dried fruit, and nuts to what you like. Canadian Smarties® can be used instead of M&M's®. I've known people to press the mixture into a cake pan and cut pieces, too.
Ingredients
- 15 cups plain popped popcorn
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 0.5 cups candy-coated milk chocolate pieces , such as M&M's®
