- 1 cup mini pretzels
- 1 cup pastel-colored M&M’s
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows

- Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate over the popcorn mixture and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
