Notes
I almost grabbed the purple candy melts so I could call it Purple People Eater Popcorn, but I just can't pass up the color green! Use whatever color you like.
If you like more candies in your mix, add more, add nuts, add whatever you like. Have fun with it.
I added purple sugar to some of the pretzels for fun, you could also use a totally different color like black or orange.
I left my pretzels whole, but you could also break them in half if you prefer smaller pieces.
My microwave is 1200 watts. You cooking/melting times may be different depending on the wattage of you microwave.
