Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes (+ 30 minutes standing time)

1. In large saucepan set over low heat, melt butter. Add marshmallows. Cook, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes or until completely melted. Stir in vanilla. Remove from heat.
2. Immediately stir in popcorn until coated. Stir in M&M’S Red & Green Peanut, pretzels and sprinkles.
