Countdown to Christmas Day 12...Santa's Popcorn Crunch

One thing that our family loves to do in the Christmas season, is watch Christmas movies. We decided to get the movie channels just for over the holidays and for the 13 nights leading up to Christmas they are playing different Christmas movies. Our little family are loving it. Christmas movies wouldn't be complete though without some Christmassy snacks. I found this fun recipe for popcorn, called 'Santa Crunch Popcorn!' Hers's how to make it.... (recipe adapted slightly from http://www.twosisterscrafting.com/santa-crunch-popcorn/).



HOW TO MAKE SANTA CRUNCH POPCORN
Popcorn
1/4 cup Butter
3 cups Mini Marshmallows
Red & Green M&M's
Red & Green Peanut M&M's
Christmas Sprinkles

1. Cook your popcorn however you normally like to and sprinkle with salt.
2. Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a medium sauce pan.  Once the butter is melted add 3 cups of mini marshmallows. Stir until the marshmallows are melted. Turn off the heat.  Add 1 tsp. of vanilla.  Do not overcook.
3. Pour the marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and then gently fold the popcorn with a spoon until most of the kernels are covered in mixture.

4. Once the popcorn is covered in marshmallow mixture it is time to add the M&M's.   You want the marshmallow mixture to still be warm and sticky.  Then sprinkle the M&M's & sprinkles to finish!

We had it tonight during our Christmas movie. It’s yummy and also fairly easy to whip up!
