  • 1/2 cup Multi-colored Sprinkles
  • 2 cups Cotton Candy any color
  • 3 ounces Pink Candy Melts

Instructions

  • Pop the popcorn and remove any unpopped kernels.  Place 9 cups of the popcorn in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the marshmallows to a microwave safe bowl.  Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth.

  • Melt each color of the candy melts in separate bowls by microwaving them in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted.
  • Pour each color over the popcorn in small bowls and gently toss to coat.
  • Spread the colored popcorn onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper to cool.
  • Break apart the marshmallow coated popcorn into small pieces.  Gently stir in the colored popcorn.
  • Then the popcorn is ready to serve and enjoy!
