Unicorn Popcorn
Unicorn birthday parties are very much so in style right now. Boys and girls alike are digging the super colorful and very uniquely done unicorn parties these days so why not add some fun to your dessert table!
What exactly is unicorn popcorn?
Well, it's like the best of both worlds. Back when we used to go to the movies, most people would grab the popcorn, candy, and soda. This combines two of the three! By drizzling colored candy coating all over the popcorn you create a perfectly adorable and tasty snack.
What kind of chocolate do I use?
I prefer using almond bark when melting candy coating, however to save time, just purchase the pre colored candy coating from your local craft store or walmart. Melting it down in 30 second increments will ensure you don't burn the chocolate.
How did you get the popcorn pink?
I used my airbrush machine. If you dont have an airbrush machine you can grab a can of edible decorating spray from amazon or your local craft store.
