Ingredients
  

Base
  • 1/2 cup popcorn kernels or 8 cups popped popcorn
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil for popping
Coating
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp vegetable shortening
Topping
  • 1/4 cup red velvet cake crumbs

Equipment

  • Large pot with lid
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Pop the popcorn using your preferred method or use 8 cups of pre-popped popcorn. Remove any unpopped kernels.
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the popped popcorn evenly.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips and vegetable shortening in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  4. Drizzle the melted white chocolate mixture over the popcorn, tossing gently to coat evenly.
  5. While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle red velvet cake crumbs evenly over the coated popcorn.
  6. Let set for 30 minutes until chocolate hardens. Break apart any clusters and serve immediately.

Notes

You can make red velvet cake crumbs by baking red velvet cake mix according to package directions, then crumbling once cooled. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days for best freshness.
