Instructions

Place 2 medium saucepans over medium heat. Place white chocolate chips, butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and salt into each saucepan. Stir constantly until mixture comes to a light boil. Place a very small drop of coloring into each saucepan; mix until combined. Remove from heat and pour each saucepan evenly over popcorn and nuts. Gently stir to coat mixture over popcorn.

Remove from oven and pour onto parchment paper to cool. Break into pieces and serve. Enjoy!
