Who needs plain old movie theater butter popcorn when you can make this sweet and salty Avengers Infinity War popcorn crunch for a snack instead!? Super easy to make, and you can use air popped or microwave popcorn! #MovieMondayChallenge

ON THE LAST MONDAY OF EACH MONTH, I HOST A GROUP OF BLOGGERS WHO PARTICIPATE IN A #MOVIEMONDAYCHALLENGE! WE DECIDE ON A TOPIC, GENRE, OR SPECIFIC MOVIE TO USE FOR INSPIRATION AND EVERYONE GETS FREE REIGN TO CREATE SOMETHING WONDERFUL!

It’s summertime and that means summer blockbusters! This month we decided to all be challenged by the same movie: Avengers Infinity War! We are a superhero family for sure (you can find my DIY Thor’s Hammer and our Marvel inspired Halloween DIY costumes here), and I would say that despite a few DC leanings like my DIY Batman Chalkboard table or Batman sandwiches, we are pretty Marvel heavy.

That being said, I’m glad my husband and I saw this movie without our boys, since I believe it is WAY too dark for them. I loved it – any movie that I leave the theater and have questions and intrigues is a winner! – but it would have been far to scary for my kids, IMO.

Even though I didn’t find Avengers Infinity War to be a great fit for my 2 boys under 8, we are always up for a good movie night! Most of the time our movie nights are pretty basic, but I decided to spruce it up with some sweet and salty snacks – and thus my Avengers Infinity War Pretzel Popcorn Crunch was born!

How to Make Avengers Infinity War Pretzel Popcorn Crunch

2 cups air-popped popcorn, or 1 microwaveable bag of popcorn
Wilton candy melts in red, blue, yellow, orange, and green
Pretzel snaps
1 bag of M&Ms
parchment paper

Pre-heat oven to 250 degrees. Lay out the pretzel snaps on parchment paper on a baking sheet.
Lay a candy melt center on the pretzel snap. Pop into the oven for 3 minutes until candy is softened. Press M&M into the softened candy melt and freeze until firm.
Meanwhile, either microwave or air pop popcorn. Melt more candy melts of each color in ziploc or piping bags.
Mix popcorn with pretzel candy melts and pipe colored chocolate over it. Enjoy!!

My boys had a lot of fun making this snack, and I love any excuse to get them into the kitchen. This is a great family friendly activity that doubles as a sweet and salty snack!!
