Confetti CandyLand Popcorn


My six year old, created his own recipe, Confetti CandyLandy Popcorn, for the Wyoming Chocolate Festival. He wanted to take popcorn, M&M's, mini gummi bears, and pretzel pieces, mix them all together and cover them with white chocolate. He did everything except melt the chocolate. It was great math practice and he measured and counted everything out! This was his display (his poor little fingers hurt from making the pinwheels).
Isn't it funtastic? He won Best Presentation and 2nd place in his category; Everything Else. I love how the sweet and salty mix together and the gummi bears add a fun little twist! Are you wondering how to make his yummy creation? 
Here's the recipe:
