Description

A delightful twist on regular popcorn, Red Velvet Popcorn combines the rich flavors of red velvet cake crumbs with creamy white chocolate coating, creating a sweet and crunchy treat perfect for parties or movie nights.

Ingredients

Scale

Red Velvet Cake

  • 1 box red velvet cake mix, baked according to package directions

Popcorn Mix

  • 12 cups freshly popped popcorn (about 1/3 cup popcorn kernels)
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable shortening

Instructions

  1. Bake and Crumble Cake: Once the red velvet cake is baked according to package instructions, allow it to cool completely. Then crumble about one-third of the cake into small pieces to yield approximately 4 cups of crumbled cake.
  2. Melt White Chocolate: In a medium bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and vegetable shortening. Microwave at half power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler if preferred.
  3. Prepare Popcorn Base: Line a baking sheet with wax paper and spread the freshly popped popcorn evenly over it.
  4. Coat Popcorn with Chocolate: Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the popcorn on the baking sheet. Gently toss or stir to evenly coat the popcorn with the white chocolate.
  5. Add Cake Crumbs: Immediately sprinkle the crumbled red velvet cake pieces over the white chocolate-coated popcorn. Gently toss again to ensure the popcorn pieces are evenly covered with the cake crumbs.
  6. Set Chocolate: Allow the coated popcorn to sit at room temperature until the white chocolate sets and hardens, ensuring the popcorn clusters hold together.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, serve the Red Velvet Popcorn as a sweet and festive snack for any occasion.

Notes

  • You can melt the white chocolate chips over a double boiler instead of using a microwave to avoid overheating.
  • Alternatively, place the popcorn in a large bowl, drizzle the white chocolate over it, toss to coat, then spread the coated popcorn on a wax paper-lined baking sheet and sprinkle the cake crumbs on top for more even distribution.
