Instructions

In a large bowl, combine popcorn, assorted candy, pretzels, mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips. Mix well for even distribution.
If using white chocolate, melt it and drizzle over the mixture. Stir gently to combine without breaking the pretzels or marshmallows too much.
Spread the mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let it sit for about 5 minutes to set. Once set, break into pieces and serve.
