Confetti Bliss!
Just so you know, popcorn, M&M's & jelly beans rank really high in our house & are considered staples. I saw this recipe somewhere last year right after Valentine's. For the life of me, I can't remember where, but knew immediately is would be a huge hit in our house. It is heavenly. Well, that is if you like a salty & sweet combo - who doesn't right???
For the record I used:
1 bag of M&M's
*Almost* 2 bags of Orville Redenbacher's microwaveable Tender White Popcorn
1 bag of of Wilton's Confetti Candy Melts
TIPS:
*Spread on large baking sheet to allow time to dry before placing it in bags.
*After I saw this last year, I realized this could be used for any holiday. Because M&M/Mars goes seasonal in color for every holiday.
Don't ya just love it when a company is just as seasonal as us bloggers???

Now, that's my kind of confetti:) Love the pink ribbons!
love this darling -- and the name (wink wink). It has been ages since I have been able to pop over, just wanted to say how much I love the site.
All the best, Coryanne
I am SOOO making this for my hubby and youngest while I'm gone next week......I think I'll hide them as a surprise!!!
Thanks for sharing!!!
Yum! Looks delicious and easy!
I featured your post in the I'm Lovin' It wrap up post! http://tidymom.net/2011/great-valentines-day-ideas/ Thanks for linking up!
Thanks for sharing. I've bookmarked this in my "need to make folder." Looking forward to it!
I found you through Tidy Mom, I'm not sure my thighs are happy about it. :) This looks like a great teacher gift for Valentines, thanks so much!!
This is absolutely adorable ... and easy ... which is the best combination in my book.
One little note: about a year ago, I choked on popcorn and my husband had to save me - I could not get a breath and it was very scary! Please watch little kiddos carefully when they are munching on popcorn!
This will make a great going away party snack for the teen girls...They love food and I hate to leave them empty handed.

Thank you so much for the fantastic idea
Yum, Yum and double Yum! These look the perfect gifts as well to accompany the Vday cards!
Looks crazy good! I am adding some goodies to my shopping list right now.
Question: How many bags were you able to get out of that one batch?
LOVE the idea! Super cute! Can't wait to make some :)

Could you just FedEx a bag of this to my house, right NOW?!!? (A big bag?) ;)
This is super cute!
YUMMMMMMY!
This looks MAGIC!
Love it!
My hub would LOVE me forever and ever and kiss me so SWEET if I surprised him with this!

I made these for my kids teacher gifts for Valentines Day. So so cute! Thanks for posting :)
OMG!! This is the best treat every and it is so simple and fast to make. And EVERYONE love it. I have made it a few times now and has been a huge hit with everyone - kids and adults alike! Thanks for sharing
Had to pin this to remember to make it this year! Yum!
Have you ever tried this with extra buttered popcorn? That is how I make it and it is always a huge hit. The combo is amazing. I made some for Christmas and I just made some more tonight for New Years! http://eatcakefordinner.blogspot.com/2011/12/best-ever-white-chocolate-popcorn.html
Oh I want to try this for 2012

I'm thinking of making a class set for my students for Valentine's day. About how many bags did this recipe make, and about how much is in each bag?
This looks so yummy. I can't wait to try it with my kiddos! I featured it on my blog: http://www.organizinghomelife.com/archives/1998
YUM!!!! Totally can't wait to make this!! Thanks.
Yum!!!
M&M's are a favorite in our home.Thank you for a new idea!
Think I may do this for my son's 3rd grade class...thanks so much for the awesome idea
I do something similar, but instead of stirring it, I just do a single layer of popcorn in a cake pan, drizzle it with chocolate, sprinkle with goodies, then do a second layer on top of that. Then I break it up later. See? I colored my white chocolate and added blueberry craisins and pretzels. http://www.flickr.com/photos/onama/5959714526/
love this idea! i am wondering if i could use air-popped popcorn instead? i'll have to try!

HOw many bags of popcorn did this amount make? Just wondering if I need to double the recipe for my daughters class.
This is good stuff! For those who asked, I doubled this recipe and I will have enough for 20 students (and my bags are not as stuffed as the picture here). And if you're thinking of using red melts for creative freedom, I wouldn't suggest it. Looks like bloody popcorn and you can't see the m&ms as much :)

Looks so yummy. Thanks for the great idea!
I'm doing this today for my 3y/o son's valentine party in preschool. I made a 'monster box' from Pintrest (http://pinterest.com/pin/184858759674239279/) so I'm doing it with multicolored m's to match, putting it in baggies, tying with monster ribbon and putting each kid's name on a bag and calling it 'monster munch'! THANKS SO MUCH for the FAB idea!
I am making this today for my 3 y/o son's valentine party. I made 'monster box' that I also found on Pintrest so I am using multicolored m's to go with it and bagging it tying with ribbon and calling it 'monster munch'! My son is SO excited to take it to school! Thanks for the GREAT IDEA! :D
I just found this yummy treat on Pinterest and visited your blog and I love it! It is so GOOD and both my kids and husband loved it! I had to make double batches as only one batch gave me 5 bags filled about the same as in the pic! So two batches give you about 10 bags! These are my teachers' treats from the kids for Valentine's Day! Thanks so much for sharing!

This turned out soooo cute. Made 20 bags for Valentines treats. I got 10 nice sized bags per batch. I used pink Wiltons melts. Tasted great too! :-)
I made this with 1/2 cup air popped popcorn and peanut butter valentine m&ms and it is SO good! I'll be making more batches for my son's popcorn themed birthday party.
