Brooklyn Popcorn Review and Giveaway


Brooklyn Popcorn has provided me with free product
for this post about their gourmet popcorn. 
However, all thoughts and opinions expressed herein are my own. 

I am so excited to be able to do this review.  Not only because it's some seriously awesome popcorn, but because I get to give some away to one of you!  Another giveaway?!  YES!

So I was approached by Brooklyn Popcorn® and asked if I would be willing to sample some of their gourmet popcorn.  We are a family of movies - we love sitting down together and watching a good flick while munching on treats.  And we are addicted to popcorn.  My girls LOVE movie theater popcorn with lots of butter.  I prefer kettlecorn with a little more sweetness to it.  But there's nothing quite like a bag of popcorn to keep your tastebuds awake.



Brooklyn Popcorn started out by.....New Yorkers!  Shocking, I know.  (Insert sarcastic chuckle)  And it's served from a food truck.  You don't just swing by their store, you have to track down their truck.  I'm sorry, but whenever I think of food in New York, I think of tiny pizza parlors, hot dog stands, bags of peanuts, and food trucks.  Portable food.  So the idea that gourmet popcorn is served out of a truck just makes it that much more authentic for me.  Seriously, how fun is that?!







Even more fun is how the popcorn is served.  Of course, you can get it in a bag, but even more fun is that you can get it served in various size "paint" cans. (No, they aren't formerly paint cans, but they are the tins that you see paint sold in) I'm a sucker for unusual packaging.  So when I got this can in the mail, I was giddy - and yes, I washed it out and saved it.









Check out their available flavors:

Brooklyn Mix
New York Mix
Chicago Mix
Spicy Cajun
Chocolate

White Cheddar
Spicy Jalapeno

What?!  All those flavors?  Guess I've been guilty of supermarket popcorn for too long. I decided to go with their namesake - Brooklyn Mix.  A combo of White Cheddar and Chocolate.  It was sooooooo good.  And soooooooo gone in 2 days.  I had to hide the last bit for these pictures (and for my secret stash)!  My girls scarfed it down so fast.  It's such a wonderful combination of salty and sweet.  A lot of popcorn is either only salty or only sweet.  Can you imagine the Jalapeno Nacho?  I'm thinking that's on the docket for some baseball games this year.  The other thing I really liked about Brooklyn Popcorn is that it was not greasy. At all.  You can tell that they use quality ingredients and really care about what kind of product they put out.







So, with the help of the awesome folks over at Brooklyn Popcorn, we're offering you a chance to win your own taste of Brooklyn Popcorn.  All you have to do is like their Facebook page and leave a comment on this post of what flavor you would like to try!  Do this, and you could win a $20 gift certificate to use towards that flavor!  Check out the entry form below for links, and good luck!  The winner will be announced next Wednesday!
