Peanut Butter Caramel Coated Popcorn

With the depth and breadth of fantastical flavors and captivating crunch on offer, the snack shelves at Trader Joe’s have been known to elicit a “kid-in-a-candy-store” level of excitement from even the most reserved customers. From decidedly savory, to hot & smoky, and everything in between, it is truly a snacker’s paradise. Joining the sweet & salty section of our celebrated snack ranks (just in time for road trip season!) is Trader Joe’s Peanut Butter Caramel Coated Popcorn.

Our supplier starts with puffy, mushroom kernel popcorn, suitably shaped for coating in a sweet syrup of tapioca and cane sugar. This Caramel Coated Popcorn is followed by a second coating, this time in the form of salted Peanut Butter, which takes the Popcorn from, “Oh, this is good,” to “OMGoodness, this is incredible!” And though the Popcorn is contending with two coatings, it somehow manages to retain a seemingly impossible airiness and oh-so satisfying crunch. Mad science? We like to call it snack science, dear reader, and it is tasty, indeed.
