Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

12 ounces white chocolate chips
assorted food coloring
popped kettle corn
caramel bugles chips
marshmallows (whites or colored)
assorted candy sprinkles
glitter
sparkle gel food coloring

Steps:

Melt white chocolate and then divide into bowls and color with assorted food coloring, leaving some white. Alternatively, use previously colored meltable wafers, as well as white.
Scoop popped kettle corn into a small bowl and drizzle on a liberal amount of melted white chocolate. Shake/stir the popcorn to distribute over all the kernels.
Add caramel bugles and, optionally, colored or white marshmallows.
Drizzle a rainbow of the other melted chocolate colors all over the top of the popcorn.
Shake on a variety of sprinkles (we used pink pearls, pastel rainbow flowers, pink sugar, and silver and gold stars).
Optional: drizzle some sparkle gel and edible glitter.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh popcorn, colorful candy, and sweet white chocolate chips will make all the difference in the taste of your unicorn popcorn snack mix.
Don't overcook the popcorn. Overcooked popcorn will be tough and chewy. Cook it just until the kernels are popped and starting to turn golden brown.
Let the popcorn cool completely before adding the other ingredients. This will help to prevent the chocolate and candy from melting.
Stir the snack mix gently to combine the ingredients. Over-stirring can break up the popcorn.
Store the snack mix in an airtight container at room temperature. It will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Unicorn popcorn is the perfect snack mix for a party, a movie night, or a lazy afternoon. It's easy to make, delicious, and colorful. Your friends and family will love it!
