There are few foods that scream Halloween like candy corn, which is why Trader Joe's new Candy Corn Popcorn is about to become your favorite seasonal treat. Even if you're past the age of trick-or-treating, this snack is the perfect Halloween night companion.
Trader Joe's new Candy Corn Popcorn is a sweet and salty treat that serves as a "deliciously nostalgiac tribute to candy corn." The snack mix starts with airy kernels of salted popcorn, which are then covered in a sweet, crunchy, candy shell. The candy shell not only provided the perfect amount of crunch, but it also delivers notes of vanilla and caramel, which calls to mind the unique taste of candy corn. Naturally, the kernels also boast the iconic yellow, orange, white candy corn color scheme for maximum Halloween nostalgia.
