Snappy Popcorn Flavoring Kit with Flavacol Seasoning Salt, Caramel Glaze Pop and Pop-N-Glaze Kettle Corn Glaze, 3 Pack

I tried many of the products at the grocery store trying to get authentic stadium/movie style popcorn at home. All of them left me disappointed, so I learned that Flavacol is the actual product they use. Naturally, Amazon is the easiest way for me to find that...then I saw the triple pack to make caramel and kettle corn too!! I will leave a detailed review of both types of product and how I have made them work with an air Popper. Flavacol -- this is a very very very salty product!! It's easy to use too much and ruin your batch. If you want to put it into a shaker, I would suggest a regular salt shaker, not something with large openings. Personally I use the smallest measuring spoon, labelled "pinch" and it takes 2 to 3 pinches for the amount of popcorn produced by putting a level scoop of corn from the scoop on top into the air Popper. I pop the corn into a huge measuring bowl, and coat it first with some of the spray stuff from the grocery store (which is sold next to the popcorn and labeled as movie theater butter, but by itself it doesn't have much flavor). The spray stuff is just to allow the Flavacol to stick. I am careful to keep stirring and shaking the popcorn and try to get the products as evenly distributed as possible. It's ok to have some more coated pieces mixed in with mostly plain looking popcorn--thats actually how concession stand popcorn looks when you buy it. Try this and eat it warm...or let it sit for about an hour after you coat it if you really want it taste just like the concession popcorn lol. Pop-N-Glaze:(see photo) this is the exact product they use to make kettle corn at festivals etc. I wasted a lot of it trying to carefully pop kernels in it mixed with coconut oil on the stovetop (as I don't own a whirly-pop). I just don't think you can make it on the stove unless you have a whirly-pop. It. Will. Burn. How I have compromised is to melt the product in a small to medium sized sauce pan and pour over air popped popcorn. Sorry I don't have exact measurements because I just eyeballed it based on experience with cooking. I put enough coconut oil in the saucepan on medium heat to fill the bottom of the pan, maybe 4 tablespoons? Once the oil is hot, I dumped some of this product in (maybe a cup?) I stirred it constantly over medium heat until it became liquid and started to foam. It looked lightly caramelized in the pan but dries to the correct color once on the popcorn. I poured it over plain, air-popped popcorn in my largest mixing bowl using a silicone spatula and stirring as I pour with the goal to distribute it as evenly as possible. The finished product has the right taste and texture as the kettle corn you buy at a concession stand or festival kart. I read the ingredients and it is sugar, salt, and some preservatives. Anyone might be able to replicate this one without buying it, but I have not tried. Glaze Pop: this is Carmel corn coating like the kind they used to sell in mall food courts, or festivals etc. Exact same problems with burning it on stove top as I had with the kettle corn. So follow the same improvised instructions as for the kettle corn to melt it down and coat pre-popped corn. This one's ingredients are sugar, brown sugar, molasses, salt, and some preservatives/colorants. This is similar to an old home recipe I have for "Cracker Jack's" but that recipe also calls for vinegar. You can definitely use my improvised method to make this product on the stovetop and pour over popcorn, but making it from scratch is honestly better tasting, but takes more time and effort, and perhaps helps to have some candy making expertise. So this product just saves time and effort v.s. making caramel corn from scratch. **General comments: These are all powders, they're in cartons, similar to milk cartons. One of them had busted and leaked out a little during shipping. I love the vintage looking cartons, too. I would definitely recommend this product and while there's enough of this to last me a very long time, when I run out I will certainly buy Flavacol again. Not sure about the other 2, as I think I am better off sticking to home recipes for those types of popcorn topping, but I might buy them again in the future.

All the flavors were awesome! Top of the line seasoning!

The price was great for all three of these. I discovered that I had to premix everything in a cup… The kernels, regular oil, the flavoring, the buttery oil, etc And stir it all up really well before I put it in the professional popcorn machine. The small piece of coconut oil was the first thing I would have to put in and let it melt a little before scooping the premixed popcorn stuff from my bowl/cup. If you don’t pre-mix it, some kernels end up with nothing and some kernels end up with everything on it. Note: on my machine, I have to shut off the machine during the last minute or two or else the caramel will burn.

This stuff is pretty good. I was a bit disappointed, because I had high expectations based on all the reviews that I saw on the product. I was really hoping for movie theater quality popcorn. Perhaps I have to try different types of popcorn to really get a good feel for it. Don't get me wrong, it did make very good popcorn. But I was also very happy with just using some coconut oil, and a little bit of butter. I use it in a stirring popper, which could be part of the issue that I have with it. It makes cleanup a very big pain! This stuff is very easy to use! at least the butter flavor one is very easy to use. The caramel glaze, seems like it would be very very good, and it kind of is. The issue I have with it is that they don't really provide any instructions on how to use it. And in the steering popper, it burns very quickly. Searching online I can see that the suggestion is to pop as normal, but don't let all the kernels pop. And I think they really mean that. like perhaps you can only get 50% of the kernels to pop before it starts burning. And using the caramel glaze, clean up was a major pain. It actually left quite a bit of residue and burnt on caramel in my stirring popper. Perhaps it's a bit more experience with it, it may work out very well. Even the burnt caramel glazed popcorn, was pretty good. And once I realized that the burnt caramel actually tasted more like coffee flavor, I actually enjoyed it a little bit better. But the primary reason I bought this, was for the butter flavor. Overall, the butter flavor is good but I have not achieved movie theater popcorn taste using it. However, it is on the right track. But it's not much better than just using the coconut oil plus plain butter on its own.

Use it with my Whirley popcorn maker. The flavors are good and the grandkids love it. I add the candy flavors after the first kernel pops. For a completely different flavor the flavacol Is added with the popcorn and oil at the beginning. Which makes it taste like theater popcorn

Movie theater flavor tastes good but using very very sparingly. Too much and itakes the popcorn taste like salt. Kettle Korn flavor barely seasons the popcorn, using too much and it starts to burn. The kettle corn also has a really strong sickly sweet smell to it. Kind of just want to throw the whole thing out Didn't use the yellow corn yet. Kinda don't want to

This is the perfect bundle for any popcorn lover. It meets all of my expectations, and I just can't get enough of the flavacol salt. This was the final thing I needed to truly make my popcorn taste like movie theater level popcorn. The amount you get is enough to last you a lifetime to be honest and this salt has a shelf life of 10 plus years so don't worry if it's still sitting in your pantry years later. It's totally worth it. Make sure to only use a little because It goes a long way. Moving on to the pop and glaze or glaze pop whatever you want to call it. That also works great and has a nice smell when popping and is the easiest way to make caramel or kettle corn. But you should know it does leaves a sticky residue that hardens if you don't clean immediately after popping because, well, it's mainly sugar.

Great product! We love the flavors!
