Candy Pop Popcorn with Sour Patch Kids puts a sweet and sour twist on traditional popcorn snacks with Redberry drizzle, pieces of Sour Patch Kids candies and sour sugar sprinkle. Made in America with non-GMO corn, the sweet and sour popcorn snack is a low-sodium treat that shares a fresh new way for people of all ages to appreciate the flavor of a favorite candy.

The multi-textured popcorn snack from Candy Pop Popcorn joins others made with popular chocolate chip and sandwich cookies, candy-coated chocolates and candy bars. The demand for tangy and sour flavors is continuing, especially as consumers look to challenge their taste buds in the quest for new experiences and sensations.
