Trader Joe's Peppermint Bark Popcorn


This is some weird stuff. Mixing chocolate and peppermint is perfectly standard, of course. But adding caramel to that is unusual. And it takes a mad food scientist to decide to throw all of that on top of popcorn.

It's not bad, but it's strange. I don't think the flavors and textures work well together; I find the whole experience kind of jarring and dissonant. But Nina loves it, even though she's not usually big on chocolate and peppermint. Go figure.


Will I buy it again? 

No. Except maybe as a stocking stuffer for Nina next year.

    PS
    My sister had bought the sweet money bread from the bakery, and prob regional vendor so maybe different elsewhere but it was SO BAD! Between pull apart sections it was wet and doughy but the interior was flavorless and dry. Not even good warm. Hard pass- she returned it
