We’ll throw anything on popcorn, from Parmesan to black pepper to maple sugar. But overall, this is a solid option (and bargain) for sweet popcorn lovers.

Some pieces were kind of tough to chew and flattened in our teeth instead of breaking up, so it’s not as crisp as we’d like. The flavoring is pretty consistent throughout, as all the popcorn is yellow. To taste, its sweet notes shine brighter than the buttery, salty notes. You can smell its sweetness in the air as it pops, and its aroma gets even more delicious once you open the bag. We had about 50 seconds left on our 950-watt microwave once it slowed, but we might let it pop a little longer the second time around because of the leftover kernels and no signs of scorching. The packaging says it could take up to two and a half minutes to pop. Its ingredient list includes popping corn, palm oil, salt and sucralose (since kettle corn is salty and sweet).

This pick is naturally and artificially flavored. You may think of popcorn as a salty, savory snack, but let’s not overlook the glorious treat that is kettle corn.
