What You Will Need

- Milk
- Whipped cream
- Neon food coloring or any other food coloring of choice
- Star sprinkles
- Colored mini-marshmallows

Instructions
Make the Unicorn Horns and Ears
- Unwrap the candies and put them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to get them soft. Be sure to put them on a plate first as they will stick!
- Start pulling them into long skinny strands with your hands. Use caution as they may be hot.
- Twist the strands together into a cone like shape.
- Add your unicorn horn to the wood skewer and it is ready for your unicorn drink!
- Now we need some unicorn ears! I used large marshmallows, pink sprinkles, and wood skewers.
- Cut the marshmallows in half then shape with your hands into an ear shape. Add to a wood skewer. The cut edge will be really sticky.
- Dip that cut edge into sprinkles and you have a cute unicorn ear
Make the Unicorn Milkshake
- Once you have two ears and a horn, you are ready to make your unicorn milkshake!
- Start by mixing up the milkshake in a separate container. I mixed up two batches but you can do it all at once. Just mix 3 cups of ice cream with enough milk to make it the consistency that you like. I used strawberry for half of mine and vanilla for the other half.
- Fill the jar about half way with milk shake. The colors start to blend and mix....magic!
- Add a few more drips of food coloring and fill the jar up to the threads with your milkshake. The magic of the colors will continue to swirl inside of your jar.
- Top off your unicorn drink with a handful of colorful marshmallows.
- Add a crown of whipped cream and add on star sprinkles just because!
- Then cut off your skewers to length and add your horn and ears to the top.
- This unicorn drink is ready to serve to anyone that you love!
