If you’re planning a unicorn birthday party or just love all things pastel and sparkly, this DIY Unicorn Bark is pure magic! With swirls of pink, teal, and lavender, plus a dusting of sprinkles and shimmer, it’s an easy no-bake dessert that looks like it came straight out of a fairy tale.
This unicorn bark was a total hit at my daughter’s unicorn-themed birthday party — the kids couldn’t believe it was homemade! The best part? It’s quick to make, customizable, and perfect for little helpers who love to stir, drizzle, and decorate.
✨ Ingredients
2 cups white chocolate chips or candy melts
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
Food coloring in pink, teal, and purple
1/4 cup pastel sprinkles or edible pearls
Aluminum foil or parchment paper for lining your pan
Saltine crackers
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter
🪄 Instructions
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
Start by lining a small baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Add the coconut oil for extra shine and easy pouring.
(In the photo above, you can see our unicorn bark fresh out of the oven — all set on foil for easy cleanup!)
Step 2: Divide and Color
Pour the melted chocolate into three small bowls. Add a few drops of pink, teal, and purple food coloring to each bowl, stirring gently until you get dreamy pastel tones. Make sure you have white chocolate chips or white baking chips — if you use yellow chips, your purple will turn out brown.
💡 Tip: Use gel food coloring to keep the chocolate smooth and vibrant without adding extra liquid.
Step 3: Swirl the Magic
Pour each color onto your lined tray in random patches. Use a knife, skewer, or the back of a spoon to gently swirl the colors together — creating a marbled, magical unicorn pattern.
Step 4: Add Sparkle
Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle on a mix of pastel sprinkles, edible pearls, or shimmer dust. The more sparkle, the more magical your unicorn bark will look!
Step 5: Chill and Break
Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes, or until firm. Once set, lift the foil and break the bark into fun, uneven pieces.
And there you have it — Unicorn Bark! Whimsical, sweet, and guaranteed to bring smiles to every face at your party.
