Super Bowl Week: Team tins of caramel corn
Desserts are the least of your worries if you're entertaining for the Super Bowl. Let's face it, most of your guests will be focused first on the game, and second on whatever meaty, cheesy foods you've put out. Just keep desserts to the simple stuff, like caramel corn. Garrett Popcorn out of Chicago, which Oprah named one of her Favorite Things, will send you a tin of flavored popcorn of your choice, in a tin that's decorated with your favorite team. There are four sizes of tins, and a dozen flavors.
Lesser is more: Lesser Evil snack review
Lesser Evil snacks are flavored variations on kettle and caramel corn. Sweet and crunchy, the flavors include Black&White, SinNamon and Peanut Butter & Choco, in addition to caramel and original kettle varieties, which gives them some options that other purveyors of kettle corns aren’t really offering. They come in very clever packaging, as well. The boxes each have short stories explaining the origins of each flavor and even the vacuum-sealed inner bags have cute cartoons and amusing slogans on them.
Nicole's Review:
I had the original flavor and the new Peanut Butter & Choco. The original was everything that caramel corn should be: lightly glazed, crisp, sweet and buttery. It was incredibly addictive and perfect for munching, in no small part because it’s low fat! I loved that there were some larger clusters in the box, too. Somehow the larger bits just feel like more of a treat, sort of like finding a big, crunchy nugget in granola. The chocolate in the Peanut Butter & Choc flavor was not too sweet, much like cocoa, and gave a nice contrast to the more buttery, slightly sweet peanut butter bits. The chocolate was actually great when I isolated them and had them with some hot chocolate. Not being a fan of hot peanut drinks, I wasn’t able to find a suitable base for comparison, but they did pair well with the chocolate. You can buy them online.
I think these would make great snacks to sneak into movies. Not that I would do such a thing. This big purse? It's purely for fashion. Really.
