Indulge in a spooky-sweet treat with this Bloody Red Velvet Popcorn! Crunchy popcorn coated in a rich red velvet candy coating with a hint of creamy goodness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pop the popcorn: In a large pot, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add popcorn kernels and cover. Cook until popping slows to a few seconds between pops.
  2. Make the red velvet coating: In a saucepan, combine sugar, butter, heavy cream, and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.
  3. Continue boiling for 5 minutes, without stirring.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in red food coloring, vanilla extract, and salt.
  5. Pour the red velvet coating over the popped popcorn and toss to coat evenly.
  6. Spread the coated popcorn onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. If using, drizzle melted white chocolate over the popcorn.
  8. Let cool completely before breaking into pieces and serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the red velvet coating. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
