Bloody Red Velvet Popcorn is a spooky, sweet Halloween treat made with popcorn coated in red velvet-flavored white chocolate and topped with a bloody red glaze. Perfect for parties, movie nights, or creepy gift bags.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 cups popped popcorn
  • 12 oz white chocolate or candy melts
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Red gel food coloring (to desired shade)
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Optional: red velvet cake crumbs
  • Optional: sprinkles or edible glitter

Instructions

  1. Place the popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
  3. Stir in cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until the mixture reaches a deep red velvet color.
  4. Pour the red chocolate over the popcorn and gently toss until evenly coated. Spread onto the lined baking sheet.
  5. In a small saucepan, combine corn syrup, sugar, water, and additional red food coloring. Simmer until slightly thickened to create a syrupy glaze.
  6. Drizzle the red glaze over the popcorn to create a bloody effect.
  7. Optional: Sprinkle red velvet cake crumbs or edible glitter while the glaze is tacky.
  8. Let everything cool completely until set, then break into clusters for serving.

Notes

  • Use gel or oil-based food coloring for best results.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature.
  • Do not refrigerate to avoid soggy texture.
  • Bake coated popcorn at 250°F for 20 minutes before glazing for extra crunch.
