Cotton Candy Popcorn Recipe

1. Begin by melting the marshmallow or vanilla candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, following the package instructions carefully to avoid burning.

2. Coat Popcorn: In a large bowl, combine 8 cups of popcorn with the melted candy coating. Stir the mixture until each popcorn piece is well coated, ensuring a perfect balance of sweetness in every bite.

3. Gently fold in the cotton candy pieces into the coated popcorn. The key here is to be gentle to prevent the cotton candy from dissolving too quickly from the warmth of the melted candy.

4. Spread the candy-coated popcorn on a lined baking sheet, and while it's still warm, sprinkle it with your choice of colorful sprinkles. This not only adds a pop of color but also an extra layer of texture.

5. Melt the blue and pink candy coatings in separate bowls. Divide the remaining 4 cups of popcorn between the two bowls, coating one batch with blue and the other with pink. Stir each batch until the popcorn is evenly coated.

6. Once all the popcorn has cooled, mix the white, pink, and blue popcorn together for a visually stunning treat. The combination of colors will remind you of a whimsical cotton candy cloud, making it irresistible not to reach for a handful. Enjoy!
