Ingredients
- 10 cups popped popcorn
- 1/2 cup red velvet chocolate melts
- 1/4 cup red syrup (grenadine or red icing)
Instructions
- Prepare the Popcorn: Spread the popped popcorn evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet to create a flat surface for coating.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the red velvet chocolate melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Coat the Popcorn: Drizzle the melted red velvet chocolate evenly over the popcorn. Use a spatula or a large spoon to gently stir and coat the popcorn pieces uniformly with the chocolate.
- Add the ‘Bloody’ Effect: Drizzle the red syrup (grenadine or red icing) over the coated popcorn to create a striking ‘bloody’ appearance, enhancing the visual appeal of the snack.
- Set the Coating: Allow the popcorn to sit at room temperature until the chocolate sets and hardens slightly, ensuring the coating sticks well before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh, fully popped popcorn to avoid sogginess.
- You can substitute red velvet chocolate melts with white chocolate and red food coloring if preferred.
- If you want extra crunch, dry the coated popcorn in a cool oven for 10 minutes at 200°F (93°C).
- Store in an airtight container to keep it fresh and crisp.
- Be careful when melting chocolate to avoid burning or overheating.
