Easter Popcorn

Ingredients:

• 6 cups popped popcorn
• 2 cups coarsely chopped pretzels
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, plus more for sprinkling
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup miniature marshmallows
• 1 1/2 cups Easter M&M's

Preparations:

1. In a large bowl, combine popcorn and pretzels. Set aside. In a medium saucepan, bring sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and water to a boil over medium high heat. Boil, undisturbed, until mixture is amber in color, for about 8-12 minutes. Remove pan from heat and slowly pour in the heavy cream. Be careful because the mixture will bubble up. Stir until smooth and add vanilla extract, and marshmallows. Stir until marshmallows are melted and mixture is smooth.
2. Pour caramel mixture over popcorn and pretzels and gently stir with a rubber spatula until popcorn is well coated. Stir in the pretzel M&M's. Transfer mixture to a greased large baking sheet and sprinkle with sea salt. Refrigerate.
