Caramel corn
June 16, 2023
Ah caramel popcorn, a classic. Who doesn’t love a little sweet with an iconic, stereotypically salty snack? Complete with that perfect little crunch from the caramel coating, it’s a crowd favorite for a variety of occasions.
CBPB offers a fun twist on the usual caramel corn by adding pecans coated in the delicious flavor to the mix. It’s a popular option at CBPB, with only two bags left on the shelf when I visited.
To my delight, CBPB does not skimp on their caramel coating. The abundance of caramel — while not too thick — provides a major crunch factor and a delicious flavor that keeps you reaching for one more handful.
There’s a perfect portion of pecans in the bag: not too few that you aren’t ever finding any, but not so many that you’re wondering where the popcorn is. The nuts add a special something to round out the snacking experience.
The caramel pecan popcorn is a smash hit, and maybe even a go-to flavor for future visits to the CBPB Popcorn Shop.
