Glow-in-the-Dark Candy Popcorn Bombs
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. This will give the candy coating a subtle glow under blacklight.
- Add Color: Divide the melted chocolate mixture into separate bowls and add a few drops of neon food coloring to each.
- 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 15 minutes, allowing the chocolate to harden.
- Serve and Enjoy! Place under a blacklight for the ultimate glowing experience before eating.

- Choose high-quality neon food coloring for the best visual effect.
- Add sprinkles or candy bits for an extra pop of color and texture.
- Use air-popped popcorn to keep the recipe light and crispy.
- Try different color combinations for various holidays or themed parties.
