Christmas Crunch Popcorn

Christmas Crunch Popcorn is packed with peanuts, red and green M&M candies, and almond bark. The perfect gift giving snack to bring for someone around the Holidays. 

I made this popcorn the day after I had tried it at work. We had our Christmas party and played bingo. Someone had brought the popcorn in for the party, and I couldn't believe how good it was. I couldn't stop eating it! I thought it would be a fun gift to give to people or to put in a Holiday care package so that is what I'm doing.

Of course, this doesn't have to be made just at Christmas time! It can be made any time of the year. There are so many different kinds and colors of M&M's out there have fun with this recipe!
