Unicorn Popcorn
Ingredients:
6 cups popped popcorn
Pink food spray*
1/2 cup pink candy melts (we used cotton candy flavoured melts)
1/2 cup blue candy melts
1-2 teaspoons coconut oil or shortening
Pink and blue sprinkles
*NOTE: if this isn’t available near you, you can add a couple drops of red food colouring to 3 Tablespoons of melted coconut oil and toss the popcorn in a bag with the dye to get the same pink effect
Directions:
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.

Made this with kids at Lunch Bunch community feeding program & they LOVED it. Changed half of it for the boys to cameo-cowboy using melted chocolate almond bark or chips plus green melts & sprinkles. GREAT fun for all!!! Brandi

Hi. Where do I find the pink and blue candy melts cotton candy flavor? I am not having any luck. Thanks! Ginny
I am wondering if instead of candy melts which are pure saturated fat we could use some good quality chocolate of candy?
AMAZING. Just noticed this in someone’s roundup and thought I have to try that. Very fun and yummy looking too.
