Ingredients
8 cups popped popcorn (about 1/2 cup unpopped kernels or 2 microwave bags)
3 cups red velvet cake crumbs (about 1/3 of a 9 x 13 cake)
22 oz white chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening (Crisco)
Instructions
- Prepare the popcorn by popping kernels on the stovetop or using microwave popcorn. Remove any unpopped kernels.
- Spread the popcorn evenly on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Sprinkle the red velvet cake crumbs over the popcorn, distributing evenly.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with the shortening in 20–30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate mixture over the popcorn and crumbs, tossing gently to coat.
- Let the mixture sit until the chocolate hardens, then break into clusters and serve.
Notes
Swap white chocolate for dark or milk chocolate for variety.
Add sprinkles, candy melts, mini marshmallows, or crushed Oreos for extra flavor and fun.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
Do not freeze, as the popcorn will lose its crunch.
To make gluten-free, use a gluten-free red velvet cake for crumbs.
