How to Make Easy Candy Unicorn Horns

Thank you for sharing!

My kids wanted to help me make some “candy” the other day. So, we figured out How to Make Easy Candy Unicorn Horns. Simple, fun and so silly–the kids really loved them!

Some days my kids are all up in my business.

It’s not horrible–I love it when they want to do stuff with me, but then there’s days where they just won’t help, but rather want to tell…LOL!

It was one of THOSE days when the girls decided to “teach me” How to Make Easy Candy Unicorn Horns.

They wanted to do it with some of the lollipops I was making–but I thought that was too hot.

So, we came up with an alternative they could “teach” me to make.

I mean, how else were they going to teach me How to Make Easy Candy Unicorn Horns if they didn’t make it themselves?

Check out the quick video I made of the kids and me making these candy horns.

See?

Super simple–and if the girls were a little bit older, they could have done everything by themselves.

However, given that they are 4 and 5, I felt that I could do the food coloring.

You know, because I didn’t want the walls to be blue.

  3. Repeat this process with the yellow, red and orange Starburst Candies, laying one of each color in a group.
  4. Microwave 4 pink of the remaining Starburst Candies on a microwave safe plate or paper towel for 5 seconds.
  5. Be careful, they may be hot in some places, but, with your hands, mold them into a cup.

  7. Knead with your fingers until the pink Starburst Candies are consistently blue throughout.
  8. Break-up the now blue Starburst Candies into 4 equally-sized pieces and mold them into four long, skinny cylinders and add them to your sets of the other colors.
  9. Microwave the last 4 pink of the Starburst Candies on a microwave safe plate or paper towel for 5 seconds.

  15. Pick up one whole set of cylinders and, starting at the end where they’re all even, twist them together like a rope, very gently. Keep the tip you are starting at tighter than the other end by loosening your work as you go. Work your way down to the bottom, creating a horn.
  16. Using a cake pop stick, gently insert it into the thicker end about 1-inch. Don’t try to go too far or it will destroy your twisting.
  17. Allow to cool in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
  18. Enjoy!
