I know that this isn’t the most [I]traditional [/I]name for a holiday dish but trust me… It will for sure become [I]your [/I]family’s holiday tradition for the season after you try it once! This is SO easy to make and is simply addicting. It has all of the perfect ingredients in it to make it sweet and salty so everyone loves it! Plus, it’s a great treat to make with your kids!

I always love recipes that I can use during the holidays and this one is great because I can whip it together in less than 10 minutes. I always make sure to have this stuff on hand so that I can make it whenever! It’s also a great one to use on other occasions and holidays. All you have to do is change up the color of m&m’s and sprinkles and you can have this at Easter, the 4th of July, or really whenever! Once you start, you won’t be able to stop!
