Directions
Place wax paper onto a baking sheet and spread your popped popcorn onto the wax paper and spread it out evenly.
Place one color candy melts into a sandwich bag.
Microwave your candy melts for 60 seconds at 50% power, then knead the bag well. If there are still chunks of of the candy, microwave it again at 30 second increments at 50% power until it is completely smooth. Snip the tip of the bag and drizzle the melted candy onto the tray of popcorn.
Repeat with each of the remaining colors of candy melts, one at a time.
Sprinkle with sprinkles. Set the candy coated popcorn mixture aside to harden. You can put it in the fridge, but it really isn't necessary - it will harden enough on its own with the room temperature air in your kitchen! It doesn't need cold.
Add all of your pretzels, candies and grahams into a mixing bowl and mix it all up well.
Break apart the sheet of hardened, candy coasted popcorn into small pieces and place into the bowl and mix.
You can set this Kid's Trail Mix Recipe for Easter in a pretty decorative Easter bowl, or store the leftover trail mix in a sealed bag or container for easy snacking!
