This unicorn popcorn is an awesome afterschool snack – but it also doubles as the perfect popcorn for a Trolls movie night – it looks just like something Princess Poppy would eat!

Blue and Pink Popcorn Recipe

From unicorn cupcakes to unicorn fluff dip (and unicorn sugar cookie bars, and surprise inside unicorn bread) – and even a healthy unicorn frappuccino recipe, we have been whipping up just about every unicorn snack option this past year. The world has gone unicorn crazy and my 6 year old daughter is more than happy to join in the trend!

We used cotton candy-flavored candy melts for a kid-centric flavor. The crunchy popcorn and sprinkles work great with the smooth candy melts for a fun movie night snack.

You can also use this blue and pink popcorn recipe for a baby shower popcorn or a Trolls-themed party or movie night.

We actually made this unicorn popcorn recipe for my daughter’s class bake sale and it was such a hit! The teacher even texted me that this and our cookies and cream popcorn were the first things to sell out – so you know the kids will go crazy for it.

This recipe is super easy for kids to make with a bit of help (when it comes to the air popper and using the microwave). Start making it about an hour before you want to enjoy it – or you can always put it in a sealed ziplock bag and enjoy it a couple of days later.

Blue and Pink Popcorn

Ingredients

6 cups popped popcorn
Pink food spray*
1/2 cup pink candy melts (we used cotton candy flavored melts)
1/2 cup blue candy melts
1-2 teaspoons coconut oil or shortening
Pink and blue sprinkles

Instructions

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.
