Instructions

  1.  Power on the Cotton Candy Maker and allow it to reheat for 5 minutes. Then, power off the Maker. Add 3 scoops of sugar into Sugar Compartment, taking care not to overfill.

  2. Power on the Maker to begin spinning the sugar. The Maker will begin melting the sugar and strands/floss will begin to appear.

  3. Move a paper cone around the inside of the Maker to roll the floss sugar onto the paper cone. Use the cone to pick up the strands of sugar, then rotate the cone to wrap the floss sugar around it.

  4. After all sugar has turned into floss/strands, repeat with more sugar if desired.

  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt marshmallows or vanilla melts according to the package.

  6. In a large mixing bowl, add 8 cups of popcorn. Pour on the marshmallow coating and use tongs to stir until well coated, working quickly before marshmallow has a chance to harden.

  7. Add cotton candy and gently mix to distribute throughout the popcorn.

  8. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread out popcorn mixture on the baking sheet and top with sprinkles on top.

  9. In two separate bowls, melt the blue and pink candies in the microwave.

  10. In two mixing bowls, divide the remaining popcorn equally. Pour the blue coating over one bowl of popcorn and pour the pink over the other.

  11. Stir each one until well-coated. Line another baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread out the pink and blue popcorn mixtures, keeping them separate.

  12. When cooled, in a large mixing bowl, add all three batches of popcorn. Stir to combine all colors.

  13. Serve and enjoy this POP of sweetness!
