Total Time

Ingredients
- 8 cups popped popcorn
- 1 - 10 bag white chocolate melts, divided
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1/2 cup miniature M&M candies, divided
- green gel food coloring
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Place the popcorn in a large bowl. Melt 1 cup of candy wafers according to the package directions.
- When melted, stir in the Nutella until melted and smooth again. Pour over the popcorn and toss until completely coated.
- Place popcorn on a lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt and 1/4 cup M&M's and toss again. Let set in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.
- Melt 2-3 tablespoons candy melts and add a drop of green gel food color to the melted chocolate. Stir. Repeat if you want a darker color.
- Place in a plastic bag and cut one corner off. Drizzle over set popcorn and sprinkle with the other 1/4 cup M&M's. Let set. Store in a sealed container for 3-5 days.
Notes
- Pop mushroom popcorn kernels in an air popper because they pop up round and hold the chocolate the best.
- Remove any unpopped kernels before adding the chocolate. No one wants to bite into a seed and break a tooth!
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper to keep the chocolate from sticking to the pan.
- Add the M&M candies and salt immediately because the chocolate hardens quickly.
- Change it up by adding chopped hazelnuts and mini marshmallows to the mixture.
