Hot Cocoa Marshmallow Holidrizzle Popcorn -
Target
On our most recent episode of Candyology 101, Cybele and I noticed that a lot of candy companies were releasing peppermint themed sweets this year, which is a bit of a throwback to a wintery classic, but there were also a bunch of new Hot Cocoa themed products. For me, hot cocoa flavored sweets are in the same realm as the Red Velvet Cake ones. It's a novelty. I mean, what is hot cocoa? It's chocolate, melted into milk, with marshmallows. How can you recreate that into a snack without it just tasting like normal milk chocolate?
Even though I was skeptical, I just couldn't pass this product by.
Boom Chicka Pop Lemon Drop Kettle Corn - Target: Marlton, NJ
Here's one of the goodies I scooped on on Easter clearance. I was originally going to buy one of those Peep-shaped lollipops, but this bag of popcorn was the same price. One lollipop versus a whole bag of popcorn? I think I made the right choice.
Every time I see this brand on the shelves I sing THIS song by Superbus inside my head. The brand name just fits into the song so well! "Boom-Chicka-Pop!" (I went to Paris for three days way back when I was in middle school, the best thing about my trip was watching the French version of MTV and learning about foreign pop music. If you like Tchi-Cum-Bah check out my favorite song, Lola)
Enough rambling and pop music, on to the review!
