Holiday Popcorn with Red Velvet and White Chocolate Drizzle


  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

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.
