Bloody Red Velvet Popcorn is a decadent and festive snack that combines the rich, chocolatey flavor of red velvet with a spooky red syrup drizzle.

Ingredients

Scale

Popcorn

  • 10 cups popped popcorn

Red Velvet Coating

  • 1/2 cup red velvet chocolate melts

Topping

  • 1/4 cup red syrup (grenadine or red icing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Popcorn: Spread the popped popcorn evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet to create a single layer. This helps the coating process be more uniform and prevents clumping.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Place the red velvet chocolate melts in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  3. Coat the Popcorn: Drizzle the melted red velvet chocolate over the popcorn. Gently stir the popcorn to ensure all kernels are coated evenly with the chocolate for a rich flavor throughout.
  4. Add the Bloody Drizzle: Drizzle the red syrup (such as grenadine or red icing) over the coated popcorn to create an eerie, ‘bloody’ effect, enhancing both the theme and sweetness.
  5. Set the Chocolate: Allow the coated popcorn to sit at room temperature until the chocolate is fully set and firm. This typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes, ensuring the popcorn is easy to handle and eat.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh popped popcorn to achieve the perfect texture.
  • Red velvet chocolate melts can often be found at specialty baking stores or online.
  • Adjust the amount of red syrup based on desired sweetness and visual effect.
  • Store leftover popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crispiness.
  • This treat is ideal for Halloween parties, movie nights, or as a unique dessert snack.
