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.
