    5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!

    • popped popcorn – you can pop your own or buy the popcorn already popped, just make sure it’s plain, unflavored popcorn.
    • white candy melts – any will work here – I used Ghirardelli.
    • miniature pretzels – I like the twists but if you prefer the sticks, those will also work in this recipe.
    • M&Ms – go for the pastel colored M&Ms.
    • sprinkles – this is where it gets fun so go wild! Use a variety of sprinkles for the best results.
    • miniature marshmallows – you can use plain white marshmallows but we picked up a bag of the colored, flavored marshmallows and they were a huge hit with the kids.
