Halloween Popcorn Bars

found on realmomkitchen.com
These bars turn out soft, chewy and ooey gooey. The combination of the milk chocolate coated popcorn along with the Reese’s Pieces, pretzel pieces, and peanuts was delish! The fun thing about this recipe is you could change out the chocolate chips to any flavor you like and adjust the candy pieces to tie it in to any holiday. I think it would be great to use white chocolate chips with red and green M&M’s for Christmas. You could also change out the peanuts to any other nut you like.
