Unicorn Party Snack Mix
Every occasion with a theme deserves a corresponding delicious treat. This unicorn party snack mix recipe is a wonderful success for any type of magical gathering.
It’s sweet, with a little bit of salty crunch, and looks fantastic in pretty paper cups.
Unicorn Horn Party Snack Mix Recipe
This snack mix is fairly easy to make and can be prepared in advance. Get the kiddos involved as they love to help–especially with the drizzling.
If the cashews are an issue, you can omit or replace them with different nuts, peanuts, or seeds like shelled sunflower seeds.
Try the chocolate-covered sunflower seeds that we used in our lower-sugar version of fairy bread.
The sprinkles used here are the same as what we used in the magical unicorn bark. We found them at Meijer, but there are plenty of other options available if you can’t find them at your local grocer.
This recipe uses Celebration by Frey Candy Pearls, but in all honesty, I think the Celebration by Frey Sixlets would add better flavor to the mix.
If you’re running short on time, just the candy-coated bugles as unicorn horns make a fun and yummy snack.
Recipes for a Unicorn Party
We have enough recipes to load up your dessert table for sure. Unicorn cracker snacks, unicorn donut holes, unicorn cookie cups, mini rainbow poop shortbread cookies, unicorn cupcakes, rainbow fudge, and unicorn ice cream are just a few more whimsical recipes to serve up!
Treat Cups
Finding the right paper cups makes a big difference. You can even wrap filled cups with clear plastic wrap and give this unicorn party snack mix as gifts for showers, weddings, and parties.
The striped cups are cute, but I’m obsessed with these rainbow unicorn froyo cups with this adorable ribbon to use as parting gifts.
