**Unicorn Glow Popcorn**

Rainbow popcorn that’s magically colorful and glows under blacklight! Perfect for parties, this fun treat combines vibrant candy colors and an enchanting shimmer to wow kids and adults alike.

**Ingredients:**
– 10 cups popped popcorn (plain, air-popped works best)
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1/3 cup light corn syrup
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Neon food coloring (pink, blue, purple, yellow, green, etc.)
– Edible glitter or shimmer powder (optional for extra sparkle)
– Tonic water (for the glow effect)

**Instructions:**

1. **Prep the Popcorn:**
– Divide the popped popcorn into 4–5 separate bowls (one for each color). Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

2. **Make the Candy Coating:**
– In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, butter, salt, and 2 tablespoons of tonic water (for glow-in-the-dark effect).
– Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
– Allow it to boil for 2–3 minutes without stirring, then remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

3. **Color the Coating:**
– Divide the hot syrup into separate bowls (one for each color). Add a few drops of neon food coloring to each bowl and stir until the colors are vibrant.

4. **Coat the Popcorn:**
– Pour the colored syrup over the popcorn in each bowl. Gently toss with a spatula to evenly coat the popcorn.
– Spread the coated popcorn onto the prepared baking sheets in a single layer.

5. **Bake for Crunchiness:**
– Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C). Bake the popcorn for 20–25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent sticking.

6. **Add the Glow:**
– Once cooled, lightly sprinkle edible glitter or shimmer powder over the popcorn for a magical touch.

7. **Activate the Glow:**
– Under blacklight, the quinine in the tonic water will make the popcorn glow with a magical effect!

**Tips:**
– For an even brighter glow, drizzle a small amount of plain tonic water over the coated popcorn before serving (but not too much to avoid sogginess).
– Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
– Perfect as party favors—package in clear bags with ribbons for a whimsical touch!

This **Unicorn Glow Popcorn** is a dazzling treat that will be the star of any magical celebration!
