Instructions

🔹 Step 1: Prepare the Popcorn

1. Start by popping your popcorn. You can either use a popcorn machine, an air popper, or microwave popcorn. Be sure to remove any unpopped kernels.

2. Once the popcorn is popped, place it in a large mixing bowl. Gently season with a bit of salt and drizzle the melted butter over the popcorn. Toss to coat evenly.

🔹 Step 2: Make the Unicorn Glaze

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips (or candy melts) and coconut oil.

2. Heat the mixture in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

3. Add in your food coloring drops, one color at a time, stirring until you reach the desired shade of each color. You can divide the glaze into different bowls if you want to create multiple colors (e.g., pink, blue, and purple).

4. Add vanilla extract if desired for a little extra flavor.

🔹 Step 3: Coat the Popcorn

1. Drizzle the different colored glazes over the popcorn, creating a rainbow effect. You can pour the glaze in sections or create a marbled effect by alternating colors.

2. Gently toss the popcorn to coat evenly with the colorful glaze. Be careful not to crush the popcorn.

🔹 Step 4: Decorate and Chill

1. While the glaze is still soft, sprinkle the popcorn with edible glitter or shimmer dust to give it that magical unicorn glow. Add rainbow sprinkles and any other fun candy or marshmallows you’d like.

2. Let the popcorn sit on a lined baking sheet or large plate for about 30 minutes to allow the glaze to harden.
