Striped Chocolate Popcorn

So simple. So pretty. And just the right combination of salty and sweet. Ideal for bake sales, parties or gifts - and snacking on while watching your favourite Christmas movie. Next time I make it I may even throw in a few mini marshmallows

12 cups popped popcorn
2 cups miniature pretzels
1 cup Pecan Halves, toasted
1/4 cup butter, melted
4 ounces white candy coating, coarsely chopped
2 ounces milk chocolate candy coating, coarsely chopped

• In a large bowl, combine the popcorn, pretzels and pecans. 
• Drizzle with butter and toss; set aside.
• In a microwave, melt white candy coating at 70% power for 1 minute; stir. 
• Microwave at additional 10- to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. 
• Drizzle over popcorn mixture; toss to coat.
• Spread on foil-lined baking sheets.
• In a microwave, melt milk chocolate coating; stir until smooth. 
• Drizzle over popcorn mixture. 
• Let stand in a cool place until chocolate is set. 
• Store in an airtight container.
