Cupid’s Crunch Recipe – Valentine’s Day Treats! (Easy to be allergy friendly)

A friend gave us a package of this delightful treat just before Christmas, and everyone in my house loved it.  Christmas is over, and I did mean to share this before the holiday because it is so delicious, but we got sick and…I didn’t.  So I changed things up a little bit and came up with what I call Cupid’s Crunch (and you’ll find many variations on Pinterest or via Google search, I have) which is so easy to do and SO yummy!

Cupid’s Crunch Recipe
What you need:

• 2 bags microwave popcorn or 1/2- 2/3 cup popcorn kernels, popped
• 12 oz bag Wilton candy melts (I did the pink for this recipe)
• 2 cups pretzels- broken into pieces
• 1 – 11/2 cups M&Ms

How to make it

• Pop popcorn, set aside.  Be sure to pick any unpopped kernels out– they aren’t fun to bite into when you don’t expect them!
• Melt the candy melts at 30 second intervals in the microwave if you want this done quickly.  Otherwise, you can always do a double boiler method (it’ll take longer), stirring frequently.
• Toss broken pretzels and M&Ms into the bowl with popcorn.  Then pour 1/2 the melted candy over the top and combine with a rubber spatula.  (I actually found that using 2 rubber spatulas worked a lot better for me and I didn’t get covered in Cupid’s Crunch mess!)
• Spread mixture out on a sheet of wax paper- drizzle remaining melted candy over the top.
• Sprinkle the nonpareils, candy bits or sprinkles (I call them shots)
• After the chocolate dries/firms up again, break into bits and either store in an airtight container (for about a week) or package it up into treat bags to share with friends, classmates and neighbors!  If you try to do it before the chocolate is ready, you’re going to have a big mess on your hands.  Of course, you can always lick your fingers. But really, it’s better to wait. I promise.
