It’s now Holiday 2017 and the days are counting down fast. It’s insanely busy and it’s not easy to find creative gifts to give. Food gifts tend to be cakes, cookies or candy – even popcorn is available. But who wants a tub of cheese and plain popcorn? It’s not very exciting and it sure won’t draw “oohs” and “aahs” from the family. There is another popcorn option that you may not have heard about and it’s called Popcornopolis! It’s a Los Angeles-based artisanal popcorn company known for its iconic cone-shaped packaged popcorn. Popcornopolis has gathered together their best-selling flavors (the favorites) to create The Red Snowflake Gift Basket.
Disclosure: I was sent the Red Snowflake Gift Basket to test for this review!
The Red Snowflake 5-Cone Gift Basket comes beautifully pre-wrapped and ready to give and includes the recipes that made Popcornopolis famous:
Caramel Corn: The soul-satisfying family popcorn recipe that made Popcornopolis famous
Cheddar Cheese: Genuine cheddar cheese explodes in every bite
Cinnamon Toast: Crunchy, cinnamon-sweet triumph that tastes like home
Kettle Corn: The perfect balance of salty and sweet
Zebra® Popcorn: Chocolate-striped caramel corn decadence
These flavors are certified Gluten-Free, made from non-GMO corn and contain 0g Trans Fat.
The Red Snowflakes 5-Cone Gift Basket is available on the company’s website, www.Popcornopolis.com, and retails for $41.99.
Review:
I got this wonderful gift basket for the purpose of this review. It’s quite a stunner of a gift as you (or your family) decide which cone to open first. There are such great choices in the Snowflake Basket and they are all yummy!
This is not your ordinary flavored popcorn with the fake cheese and the chemical sweetener taste of kettle corn or caramel corn. Popcornopolis flavors are the real deal with real sugar, cheese, caramel and lots of other authentic flavors. I love this brand!
My take:
Caramel Corn:
This is the yummy subtle caramel flavor that caramel popcorn should be. I haven’t tasted anything this good in caramel corn in eons. And I pretty much at this entire bag. I hid it from my family because this is one flavor I didn’t want to share.
Cheddar Cheese:
This is another flavor that I could not find a brand that actually delivered a cheese flavor that didn’t feel like it was the powdered mix from a box of macaroni and cheese. This cheese flavor is so authentic and so tasty, it will disappear very quickly. In my house, it was gone in less than 30 minutes.
Crunchy Cinnamon Toast:
If you like cinnamon toast or you like the cereal with the same flavor profile, you will love this variety. It’s very true to the cereal and to genuine cinnamon toast! This is terrific.
Kettle Corn:
I like Kettle Corn and so does my kid. This vanished so fast, that I barely had more than a small handful. Needless to say, it was great! Not sticky or sticky-sweet, it had just enough salt to provide the contrast to the sweet!
Zebra® Popcorn:
This is a really unique flavor blend. It’s regular caramel corn plus white and dark chocolate drizzle across the popcorn puffs. (See the photo above) It’s sweet but without being over-the-top too sweet. This flavor rapidly becomes addicting as my partner and I found out when we started eating some. It’s so good, we almost started fighting over the bag! Lucky for him, I gave him his craving of this upscale snack and I went back to my caramel corn that was stashed!
This basket is a winner gift. Anyone would love this. If you want smaller or larger basket gifts, Popcornopolis has them on their website. You should check it out. It would be great for parties, birthdays, holiday gifts and trips!

ABOUT POPCORNOPOLIS
In 2002, Wally and Kathy Arnold recognized America’s incredible passion for popcorn. Inspired by widespread “popcorn enthusiasm” from coast-to-coast, the Arnolds partnered with premier popcorn growers in Indiana and Nebraska, conferred with exceptional ingredient suppliers around the world, and after a year of painstaking trial and error, created a series of outstanding gourmet popcorn recipes that became the foundation for Popcornopolis.
In 2003, the Arnolds opened their first retail store at Universal City Walk in Los Angeles, California. As brand loyalty and product offerings grew, new Popcornopolis stores opened in California, the Midwest, and New England. Today, the family-owned company’s iconic cone-shaped popcorn packages can be found in grocery and club stores, professional sports stadiums, movie theatres and at www.popcornopolis.com.
Committed to giving back to the community, Popcornopolis has raised more than $10 million for non-profit groups by partnering with organizations that support youth and education across America.
The Red Snowflakes 5-Cone Gift Basket is available on the company’s website, www.Popcornopolis.com, and retails for $41.99.
I would like to thank Popcornopolis for sending me a basket to test! It’s been a real food pleasure. This is great popcorn. We even bought more flavors once I found them at a supermarket that I visit! YUMMY!! I am a big popcorn fan, and Popcornopolis make me a much bigger fan!
