Description

Ingredients

• ¼ cup unpopped popcorn kernels (or about 8 cups popped)
• 12 ounces white chocolate candy melts (I like to use CandiQuik)
• 1 cup pretzels
• ½ cup M&M candies
• sprinkles
• 1 part cranberry juice, chilled
• 1 part lemonade, chilled
• 1 part ginger ale, chilled
• for garnish:
• fresh cranberries
• fresh mint leaves
• refrigerated pizza crust (or homemade)
• pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• mozzarella cheese, shredded
• pepperoni
• red and green bell pepper, finely diced
• cookie cutters

Directions

• Pop the popcorn according to package instructions and remove any unpopped kernels. Place the popcorn and pretzels in a large bowl and set aside.
• Heat the white chocolate candy melts in the microwave according to package instructions until melted. Stir until smooth and pour over the popcorn and pretzels. Gently stir the popcorn mixture until all the pieces are evenly coated, then pour the mixture out onto a large baking sheet. Spread the popcorn into an even layer and sprinkle the popcorn with sprinkles while the chocolate is still warm. Sprinkle the M&Ms evenly on top of the popcorn and allow the chocolate to cool and harden. Gently break any large chunks of popcorn into pieces and store in an airtight container.
• Combine equal parts cranberry juice, lemonade, and ginger ale in a large pitcher and stir to combine. Add fresh cranberries and mint leaves on top for garnish.
• Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Spread the pizza crust on a baking sheet and use cookie cutters to cut the dough into shapes. Top the mini pizzas with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni and bell peppers and bake according to package instructions, about 8-10 minutes.
