Description
Bloody Red Velvet Popcorn is a spooky, sweet-and-crunchy treat perfect for Halloween or movie nights. White chocolate-coated popcorn is sprinkled with red velvet cake crumbs and finished with a dramatic “blood” drizzle for a playful, eye-catching snack that’s quick, budget-friendly, and delicious.
Ingredients
12–15 cups plain popped popcorn, discard unpopped kernels
1.5–2 cups white chocolate chips or melts
1 tsp neutral oil
2–3 cups red velvet cake crumbs (from cake or cupcakes)
Red gel icing or thickened red syrup for “blood” drizzle
Optional: pinch of salt, festive sprinkles, or red candies
Instructions
1. Pop popcorn and remove unpopped kernels.
2. Melt white chocolate with 1 tsp neutral oil until smooth.
3. Spread popcorn on parchment; drizzle half the chocolate, toss, then add the rest.
4. Sprinkle red velvet crumbs evenly over glossy chocolate, tossing gently.
5. Drizzle thick red gel icing or syrup for “blood” effect.
6. Let set at room temperature, break into clusters, and serve.
Notes
Use unbuttered popcorn for crisp coating.
Do not overheat chocolate; remove when a few lumps remain.
Set at room temperature; avoid chilling to prevent sogginess.
Pulse or sift crumbs if too coarse for better cling.
Bake coated popcorn 8–10 minutes at 300–325°F for extra crunch before adding drizzle.
