Pretzel sticks broken into half-inch pieces

Sprinkles

Food coloring if desired

Spread the popcorn and pretzel pieces out in a jelly roll pan or on parchment paper.

Melt the chocolate chips according to package directions (Note: I added a small amount of milk to get the melted chocolate to pouring consistency).

Add food coloring to the melted chocolate if desired. My daughter and I decided to make ours a pale apricot color.

Pour the melted chocolate over the popcorn and pretzel bits. Add sprinkles, but do not stir (see photo). 

After the chocolate hardens, break the popcorn-pretzel mixture into smaller pieces and toss with M&Ms.
