Description

Red Velvet Popcorn is a delightful twist on classic popcorn, combining the rich flavors of red velvet cake crumbs with creamy white chocolate coating. This easy-to-make snack is perfect for parties, movie nights, or a sweet treat anytime.

Ingredients

Scale

Red Velvet Cake

  • 1 box red velvet cake mix (baked according to package directions, use about 4 cups crumbled cake)

Popcorn Coating

  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable shortening

Popcorn

  • 12 cups freshly popped popcorn (about 1/3 cup popcorn kernels)

Instructions

  1. Bake and Crumble Cake: Bake the red velvet cake according to the package directions. Allow the cake to cool completely, then crumble about one-third of the cake into small pieces to make 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 until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate over a double boiler if preferred.
  3. Prepare Popcorn Base: Line a baking sheet with wax paper and spread the freshly popped popcorn evenly on the sheet.
  4. Coat Popcorn with White Chocolate: Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the popcorn. Gently toss the popcorn to ensure even coating 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 distribute the cake crumbs evenly throughout the popcorn mixture.
  6. Set and Serve: Allow the white chocolate to set and harden. Once set, serve the red velvet popcorn as a delicious sweet snack.

Notes

  • You can melt the white chocolate over a double boiler instead of using the microwave for a more controlled melting process.
  • As an alternative method, place the popcorn in a large bowl, drizzle the melted white chocolate over it and toss to coat, then spread it on the wax paper-lined baking sheet and sprinkle the cake crumbs on top before tossing gently.
