Unicorn Popcorn

Credit: Dane Tashima

It’s impossible to eat just one handful of this colorful, salty-sweet treat.

In a very large bowl combine one 3-oz. bag plain, lightly salted microwave popcorn (popped!), 1 cup Rice Chex, 1 cup mini pretzel twists, 1 cup chopped dried-pineapple chunks, and 8 oz. white-chocolate chips, melted. Spread on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Immediately top with pastel sprinkles and refrigerate for 15 minutes to set. Store in the fridge. Makes 16 servings.

NUTRITION PER SERVING 157 calories; 1g protein; 6g fat (5g sat. fat); 24g carbs; 1g fiber; 15g sugar; 1mg iron; 11mg calcium; 126mg sodium

Sprinkle Explosion Unicorn Bark

Credit: Courtesy Peony and Ink

This candy bark is a stunning addition to any dessert table. The swirls of pastel purple, pink and blue look fancy but the recipe from Peony and Ink only uses three ingredients: white candy melts, food coloring, and sprinkles. It’s as sweetly easy as melt, color, swirl and cool.

Unicorn Bars

Beautiful blue buttercream tops these bars from Cookies and Cups. The buttery treats don’t skimp on the sprinkles (they’re unicorn bars, after all); they’re in the dough and the frosting for maximum fun.
