Instructions

Heat the Milk and Cream: In a small saucepan over medium heat, gently warm the whole milk and heavy cream, stirring occasionally until hot but not boiling.
Add White Hot Chocolate Mix: Gradually whisk in the white hot chocolate mix until fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Add Pink Food Coloring: Stir in desired amount of pink food coloring to give the hot chocolate a vibrant unicorn-inspired hue.
Prepare Garnish: Melt the white candy melts in a microwave or double boiler. Use melted pink candy melts to create designs or drizzle over the white candy coating if desired. Set aside sprinkles for decoration.
Assemble the Drink: Pour the hot pink chocolate mixture into mugs. Top generously with whipped topping, mini marshmallows, sprinkles, and the decorated white and pink candy melts for a magical finish.

Notes

Adjust the pink food coloring to your preferred intensity for a more vivid drink.
For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk and heavy cream with plant-based alternatives such as almond or oat milk, and use dairy-free white chocolate mix.
Use a whisk while mixing the hot chocolate mix for the smoothest consistency.
Be careful not to overheat milk to prevent it from scorching or boiling over.
