The unicorn sweets trend has led to some of the most colorful creations in Orange County, from rainbow-dyed bagels to pink hot chocolate piled high with pastel sprinkles and marshmallows. While these treats are certainly eye-catching, we set out to discover whether they taste as good as they look. Here are five places in Orange County where you can indulge your senses with the sparkliest, most enamoring unicorn treats.
1Crème and Sugar
Delightfully pink and topped with a heaping pile of marshmallows, sprinkles, and all things sweet, this bubbling elixir is on the secret menu. While the layer of whip cream and sugary toppings is sure to please, the hot chocolate itself could benefit from a creamier, more distinct cocoa flavor. The beverage is large enough to share, even for the biggest sweet tooth. While you’re there, grab some white chocolate unicorn bark, top, to go. Although their unicorn goodies are on the secret menu, note that they are also first-come, first-serve. 6312 E. Santa Ana Canyon Road, Anaheim Hills, 714-941-9059, cremensugar.com
