Ingredients
Scale
- 10 cups popped popcorn (about 1/2 cup unpopped kernels)
- 1/2 cup red velvet cake mix
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (or white melting chocolate)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
- Red food coloring (optional, for extra vibrancy)
- Holiday sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
- Pinch of salt (to taste)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Popcorn
- Pop the kernels using your preferred method (air popper, stovetop, or microwave). Make sure to discard any unpopped kernels.
- Spread the popped popcorn on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Mix the Red Velvet Coating
- In a medium bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix and powdered sugar. Stir well to ensure the mixture is even.
- If you want a deeper red color, add a drop or two of red food coloring to enhance the vibrancy of the popcorn.
Step 3: Coat the Popcorn
- Gently toss the popcorn with the red velvet cake mix mixture. Use a large spoon or your hands (wear gloves to avoid staining) to ensure the popcorn is evenly coated.
Step 4: Prepare the White Chocolate Drizzle
- Melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and melted.
- Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the red velvet-coated popcorn. Use a spoon to create a thin, even drizzle.
Step 5: Add the Finishing Touches
- While the white chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the holiday sprinkles on top of the popcorn for a festive touch.
- Let the popcorn sit for about 20-30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
