Award Winning....Voted the BEST!...Official SWAG Bags of the 37th Annual Daytime Emmy and 31st Annual Sports Emmy Award Shows of 2010...Premiere and Gourmet...
What am I talking about?
Well, this is going to take a tasty while to fill you in on this Gourmet Sweet Shoppe, so why don't you grab a cup of coffee and a napkin...yes I said napkin...as this review and GIVEAWAY is going to probably going to involve some major drooling.
Okay, glad to see your back and here I go trying to capture the truly Handcrafted Sweets which continue to be created by the One and Only Michele for the past 5 years....and I am certain many more years to come. They are even on Facebook.
I was sent out a fantastic and addictive collection from Michele's Totally Awesome Gourmet Popcorn so I could share all my thoughts, dreams and finger licking experiences...PLUS Giveaway Mini Samplers to Three Very Lucky Winners!! If you don't want to risk or wait to see if you are going to be one of the three...Don't worry Michele's Sweets are available for purchase via her website.
This is so difficult to decide what flavor experience I want to share first. Okay, in no particular order...here I go....Napkins Please......
I will start NOT with the Popcorn...how it that for a surprise?
The Caramel Pretzel Stick was such a delight (I enjoyed it all myself, because I hid it from my boys..and thankful I did!) and fresh. The pretzel was nice and crunchy and salty and I am not sure how that is possible because the next layer was creamy caramel and then a chocolaty coating. And for a spectacular topping...crispy rice. Perfection!
The Dipped Doubles (Double Stuffed Oreos) were a lot of fun and whimsically decorated. They were nice and sweet, just as I expected.
Okay, I promise now on to Michele's Award winning Popcorn..Before I start I just want to say, I never came across a single old maid in all the bags I sampled! That is a feat I have never experienced before. Plus each popped kernel of corn was large and very fresh tasting.
The Peanut Butter Cup was phenomenal!! Caramel Corn drenched in chocolate and then added into Caramel Corn coated in a peanut butter and crushed peanuts. I was pleased as this combination wasn't overly sweet and married perfectly!
Dark Chocolate Mint...sweet...refreshing and not over done! Caramel popcorn coated with dark chocolate mixed with crushed fudge mint cookies and then drizzled with crème dementhe flavored coating. I know it sounds over powering, but truly it is not. The balance of flavors is mastered.
Limited Edition Jack Frost Jumble....Caramel popcorn with almonds, pretzels, and cinnamon chips. All coated with white chocolate and then drizzled with more white chocolate! I was surprised that this was my oldest sons favorite. He ate the whole bag single handily. All he could keep saying is that he has never had popcorn like this before and it was gooooood!
Speaking of enjoying something like you have never had before. That is the experience I had with Michele's Munchie Mix. Talk about taking Ch*x mix and mixing it up to make a tongue tantalizing, flavor explosion in every bite. This mix is salty and has strong flavor notes, but in the same breath it can be sweet and savory.
Sourcream-N-Cheddar reminded me of potato chips, only better because it has the same seasonings only on popcorn! Savory blend of aged cheddar cheese with sour cream & onion seasoning. Double Yum! The Na-Cho Cheddar also reminded me of chips, only Doritos. I was amazed at how a person can perfect a seasoning to make it so similar to something else...what a success in my book.
Did someone order Pizza?? Oh my, I forgot this isn't pizza...it is pizza flavored Popcorn. I enjoyed all the seasonings coming forward in this bold statement.
So I have a question for you? Are you bold and unique or are you more cautious and reserved? Well, you need to know the answer to this question to help select what Mini-Sampler of flavor you would select if you are chosen as one of the three winners. (Plus it is the required entry...Hint! Hint!)
Option A is: Chocolate Caramel, Buffalo Supreme, Caramel and White Chocolate.
Option B is: Peanut Butter, SourCream-n-Cheddar, Caramel Apple and Milk Chocolate

Caramel Corn by Michele! This corn was so fresh and rich and sweet, but with nice undertones of saltness at times. Very enjoyable and doesnt' stick in your teeth! Chocolate Caramel is perfect for the Chocolate Lover in your life. Caramel corn enrobed in chocolate. Do I need to say more??
