Christmas Crunch Popcorn Recipe

I already had the Christmas M&M’s on hand … because that’s a staple in everybody’s kitchen around Christmas, right?  And we always have microwave popcorn and white almond bark. Those are also staples in our house.So, that was that… about 5 minutes later we had a delicious afternoon snack ready.  Unfortunately, being the mean blogging Mommy that I am, I tortured the kids by not letting them eat any until I took pictures and checked pictures and then too more pictures… just so I could share it with YOU!    Now that I think about it – my kids should be mad at YOU, not ME, right?
