27 of the Weirdest, Trendiest, Most Appetizing Popcorn Flavors Around
Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Kettle Corn
Angie's was started by a husband and wife team — Angie and Dan Bastian — and is available in local supermarkets, major retailers like Super Target, Costco, and Whole Foods across the United States, and in Puerto Rico, Canada, the United Kingdom, and South Korea. Though its founders started out making popcorn for fun in their home kitchen, Angie's products have quickly gained popularity, thanks in part to the company's mission to create popcorn products that use natural ingredients and avoid additives and highly processed sugars like high-fructose syrup and trans fats. Angie's makes nine different varieties, including gourmet combinations like this dark chocolate and sea salt version for the holiday season.
Sweet and Spicy Kettle Corn
Kettle corn is typically a super sweet (sometimes even overly sugary) indulgence. This kettle corn, however, gets a serious culinary boost from the heady blend of paprika, cumin, and fiery cayenne pepper.
Eggnog Brandy Popcorn
Made by hand in Seattle, WA, KuKuRuZa's popcorn flavors range from the classic to the creative. The company also has several seasonal varieties for sale during the holiday season, including Eggnog Brandy (pictured) — the company claims it's so popular, they get customers asking for it again months in advance. Other specialty flavors available only during the holiday season are Pumpkin Spice Pecan and Peppermint Cocoa.
Black Raspberry Popcorn
Fruity flavors might not seem like an obvious choice for popcorn, but when paired with sweet, vanilla-scented white chocolate, it doesn't seem like such a bad idea.
Maple Bacon Popcorn
Everyone loves bacon, and now you can enjoy America's favorite cured meat in your popcorn, too. Mixed with sweet maple syrup, the crunchy popcorn and salty, smoky meat creates an irresistible flavor combination.
Cotton Candy Kettle Corn
Many of the flavors made by Kettle Corn NYC are pretty classic — think Caramel, Cinnamon, and Chocolate. But the company also puts out some more interesting flavors, like Cotton Candy, which completely melds two favorite carnival treats.
Spiced Almond Caramel Popcorn
In addition to this sweet and slightly spicy version, California-based company CC Made also makes a classic caramel corn and a pistachio-studded variety, as well as caramels and caramel sauces. The Spiced Almond, though, is a big seller, and balances the sweetness of the caramel with hits of cayenne and paprika. CC Made sells larger packages as well as 3-ounce sizes (pictured) that are ideal for snacking without going overboard.
Wasabi Ginger Kettle Corn
Traditionally sweet kettle corn gets a hit of spice in this blend, made with pungent ginger and wasabi.
Tomato, Tomäto, Pomodoro
Enjoy a little bit of Italy with this savory popcorn that is flavored with sun-dried tomato, herbs, and a blend of cheeses.
Aged White Cheddar and Hatch Green Chile Popcorn
A little smoky, spicy, rich, and savory, this addictive snack satisfies every kind of craving.
Gingerbread Caramel Crisp Popcorn
This special seasonal offering from a Chicago-based company is delightfully sweet and saturated with the warm, spicy scent and taste of holiday gingerbread.
Gin and Tonic Popcorn
The UK-based company Joe & Seph's was started by a Brit who fell in love with popcorn during trips to the USA. Now the company is garnering accolades in England and is expanding across the pond to New York City. The fruity, cocktail-inspired Gin and Tonic flavor (pictured) along with Classic Caramel, Caramel Macchiato and Whisky, Goat Cheese and Black Pepper, and Mature Irish Cheddar will be available at Manhattan's Chelsea Market Baskets in two sizes — 80-gram pouches are $6.95 each and 90-gram pouches are $7.95 each. All of Joe & Seph's popcorns can also be purchased online and shipped throughout Europe, the United States, and Canada.
Mince Pie Popcorn
Popcorn doesn't get more British than this. First coated in a rich caramel, this seasonal treat is then given a boost with sweet, crunchy almonds and brandy-infused fruit.
Cheese on Toast Popcorn
This snack is classic British comfort in a convenient little bag. Covered first in a traditional sweet topping, the airy popcorn is then smothered in toasted Cheddar cheese.
Thai Style Peanut Satay
This Asian-inspired, sweet and savory popcorn won a Great Taste 2013 Award in the UK.
Birthday Cake Popcorn
Revel in nostalgia and enjoy the decadent taste of birthday cake all year long. This popcorn is coated in luscious white chocolate that has been infused with the flavor of cake batter. Then each crunchy cluster is rolled in colorful sprinkles for a festive finishing touch.
Dill Pickle Popcorn
Now the addictively tangy, garlicky, herby flavor of dill pickles is available in a crunchy, easy-to-eat snack.
Ketchup Popcorn
Embrace your inner kid — and that old habit of dousing absolutely everything in ketchup. This snack is covered in a sweet tomato flavor reminiscent of every kid's favorite condiment.
Taco Loco Popcorn
With all the bold, zesty flavor of the ubiquitous Mexican dish, this popcorn is loaded with spicy taco flavor. Popcorn Passion also has several other flavors based on beloved snacks and foods, like Jalapeño Popper and Pizza Pie.
Mexican Molè Popcorn
Inspired by the classic Mexican flavors of molè, warm spices are mixed right into the rich chocolate coating in this popcorn, and then everything is dusted with ancho chile for an extra spicy kick. If you like sweets that mix in a little that's spicy or savory to balance out the sugar, check out some of Popcorn Passion's other interesting flavor combinations, like Fennel Caramel.
