Hot Honey Popcorn

"If the rise in popularity of hot honey has taught us anything, it’s that sweet and heat are truly meant to be together. Why? Because like any good complementary combo, sugar and spice simply bring out the best in one another. Take their co-starring turn in Trader Joe’s Hot Honey Popcorn, for instance. Set against the backdrop of a light, airy, and wonderfully buttery kernel of Popcorn, the sweetness of Honey powder brings the heat of Hot cayenne pepper into focus, while at the same, the spicy notes round out the sweetness, so that neither element overpowers the other. Talk about teamwork! Savory, salty, sweet, and spicy, all at once, Trader Joe’s Hot Honey Popcorn eats a bit like kettle corn with a capsaicin-loaded twist. We find that it’s ideal for all sorts of snacking situations, and especially excels when employed as a movie snack. We recommend pouring some into a bowl and mixing it with even more sweet and spicy treats, like our Bite-Sized Candy Coated Milk Chocolate Candies or Thai Lime & Chili Cashews. And if you really want to double down on the heat-sweet synthesis, you can always mix in some of our Sweet & Spicy Pecans."
