Unicorn Popcorn Recipe

Happy National Popcorn Day! Today we have a fun recipe that can also be used for Easter because of the colors. The Unicorn Popcorn recipe is one that kids and adults both love.

I love that everyday celebrates something different. So this is perfect for today. Do you think there’s a National Unicorn Day too? 😉 We do have some other fun Unicorn recipes that we will be sharing soon too.

So be sure to keep watch and sign up for our email newsletter so you don’t miss them. This recipe is perfect for a Unicorn party.

 

Magical Unicorn Popcorn Ingredients:

• Popped popcorn
• Pink food spray*
• Candy melts Pink (we used cotton candy flavored melts)
• Blue candy melts
• Coconut oil or shortening
• Sprinkles Pink and blue
• For exact amounts, please see recipe card below.

How to Make Unicorn Party Dessert

Pop the popcorn with an air popper. (Or use plain bagged popcorn for ease – no butter popcorn.)

Lay the popcorn on two cookie sheets and spray lightly with the pink food spray. Turn over and coat the other side. Let dry as you prep the candy melts.

Place the candy melts each in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 25 seconds, stir, and reheat as needed. Add in 1/2 teaspoon or more of coconut oil to make the candy melts more loose and easily drizzled.

Drizzle half of the candy melts over the popcorn, add sprinkles, let dry. Reheat the candy melts and toss the popcorn to coat the other side with the second drizzle.

Let dry completely before serving or packaging.

Yield: 6 Cups
