Make a splash with your kids by serving them fun Finding Dory Popcorn. This ocean blue candy-coated Just Keep Swimming Popcorn is speckled with Finding Dory marshmallows and cookies and is easy to make and fun to share.
If you are looking for a fun snack to serve at your Finding Dory party, you've come to the right place.
This blue-colored white chocolate-coated popcorn with fish-shaped marshmallows and Finding Dory Cookies is easy to make and so fun to snack on.
Serve it in a big bowl or package the popcorn in small goodie bags to pass out as party favors.
I made a batch of this fun summertime popcorn for my nephew's beach-themed graduation party. The royal blue candy-coated popcorn was speckled with fish-shaped cookies and tiny fish-shaped marshmallows.
This treat looked perfect on the dessert table and tasted great.
The tiny chocolate and graham cracker goldfish along with the marshmallows added a nice punch of flavor to the white chocolate popcorn and the brown, tan, and white colors were a nice contrast against the royal blue popcorn.
A week after the party, I was grocery shopping and they were stocking a shelf filled with boxes of Finding Dory cereal. The cereal has tiny little Dory and Nemo (or Marlin) marshmallows. I couldn't resist buying a box to make another batch of popcorn with this colorful fish.
Before I got it made, I went shopping at another store and spotted some Finding Dory Graham Snacks.
The small Dory, Nemo, and Hank (the octopus) cookies would be a perfect addition to my Just Keep Swimming Popcorn.
I finally stopped shopping and got busy in the kitchen making this fun Finding Dory treat.
It is so easy to make. You just have to spend some time picking the marshmallows out of the cereal.
The cereal is pretty good on its own, but the pieces are not fish shaped. If you take them out of the Finding Dory cereal box and pour them into a cereal bowl, no one would ever know you picked the marshmallows out of the cereal.
The marshmallows look so much cuter in the popcorn, especially when they are packed up in clear bags with a printable label.
The bags I used were 4 ½ inches wide, so my labels are wide enough to fit over the opening of those bags. You may have to re-size the printable labels to fit your bags if you use a different size.
Click here for the just keep swimming printable labels. Print out a page, then cut them so you can fold the label over the top of the bag.
Or, you can just pile the popcorn into a beach pail to serve it at a Finding Dory party.

Do not mix the marshmallows in with the popcorn and coat them in the blue candy. If you do that your marshmallows will be blue. They won't look like Dory and Nemo.
To keep the Just Keep Swimming Popcorn fresh for up to several weeks, seal it in a metal tin. It will stay fresh for a week if stored in a plastic airtight container.
Use some candy melts to attach the cookies to the popcorn if you don't want them to move around your bag.
