Unicorn Popcorn – A Tasty Treat Perfect For Parties

Anna here with a tasty treat – Unicorn Popcorn –  for movie night, a party, or just because.

Unicorn Popcorn - A Tasty Treat!

Unicorns seem to be so popular right now. I remember unicorns being fairly fun when I was young but unicorn themed everything really has exploded. Take a quick peek at Pinterest and you’ll see you can find unicorn themed cakes, cookies, parties, practically everything.

My sweet daughter had a big birthday this month and she wanted a unicorn themed party. I obliged because before too long she’ll think things are much too young for her!

How To Make Unicorn Popcorn

Unicorn Popcorn is seriously so simple to make. All you need is 4 bags salted only popcorn, 2 cups of pink candy melts, and 2 cups of blue candy melts.

First, pop your popcorn, and then spread out the popcorn on a large baking sheet.

Next, melt your candy melts in separate bowls, according to the package directions.

Using a spoon, drizzle the melted candy melts over all the popcorn on your baking sheets. Alternate between your two colors.

Once you’ve drizzled all the melted candy over the popcorn, set the popcorn aside so that the candy can harden. You can pop the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes if you prefer.

After the candy has hardened, break the popcorn into pieces and place in a serving dish. Cover tightly with plastic wrap if you are preparing before you need the treat. The popcorn will keep wrapped in plastic wrap for several hours.

The girls at my daughters birthday party couldn’t keep their hands out of this popcorn! It was a huge hit, and so simple to make that I know we will make it again and again!

    Hi. Did you have any left overs? I am wondering if the popcorn with the drizzled candy melt will still be good if I prepare it 2 days before the party. I will wrap it individually when it has cooled down with a cellophane plastic wrap. Thank you.

        You likely could… but it is best within a day.

    This looks delicious. I am going to make some for our school bake sale. I havenever used candy melts before – did you use 2 entire bags (blue and pink) for one batch (i.e. 1 bag of microwave popcorn)? Trying to figure out how many bags of candy melts I need to buy. Thanks so much.

    Yay for unicorns, they’re the best. A friend of mine’s little young just turned 4 and she also went all out making unicorny treats and things. Wish I’d seen your easy recipe before the time. She would have loved it
