Instructions

  • Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and spreading the popcorn evenly; preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).
  • Combine butter, sugar, heavy cream, cocoa powder, and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves, then continue boiling for 4 minutes without stirring.
  • Remove the saucepan from heat, then stir in the red food coloring and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the red velvet mixture over the popcorn, gently tossing to ensure even coating.
  • Bake the coated popcorn for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely before serving.

Notes

For extra fun, sprinkle with themed sprinkles or edible glitter after cooling. Ensure popcorn is fully cooled for best crunch and to prevent sticking. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
