With neon chocolate, a magical glow effect from tonic water, and a crunchy candy coating, this popcorn is perfect for Halloween, glow parties, or any event where you want to impress.

Ingredients

  • 8 cups popped popcorn
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips, melted
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • ¼ teaspoon tonic water (for glow effect)
  • Neon food coloring (blue, pink, yellow, green)
  • Edible glitter or luster dust

Instructions

  • Prepare the Popcorn: Spread the popped popcorn evenly on a lined baking sheet.
  • Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  • Create the Glow Effect: Stir in the tonic water to give the candy coating a subtle glow under blacklight.
  • Add Color: Divide the melted chocolate into separate bowls and mix in a few drops of neon food coloring until vibrant.
  • Coat the Popcorn: Drizzle the colored chocolate over the popcorn, gently tossing to coat evenly.
  • Add the Magic Touch: Sprinkle with edible glitter or luster dust to enhance the glowing effect.
  • Set the Popcorn: Let the popcorn sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
  • Serve and Enjoy! Place under a blacklight for the ultimate glowing experience before eating.

Notes

  • Extra Glow: Use more tonic water for a stronger glow, but avoid adding too much to maintain the chocolate’s texture.
  • Different Colors: Experiment with different neon food colorings to match holiday or party themes.
  • Toppings: Add sprinkles, candy bits, or crushed freeze-dried fruit for extra texture and flavor.
  • Flavor Boost: Mix in a pinch of flavored extracts like vanilla or almond for extra taste.
