Trader Joe's is giving fans an unexpected new snack option this holiday with the release of its new French Onion Popcorn.
Available for a limited time, the new French Onion Popcorn is exactly what it sounds like – popcorn designed to taste like the classic French soup. To fully capture the cheesy, caramelized onion flavor of a fresh crock of French onion soup, Trader Joe's supplier has carefully coated each kernel of popcorn in a mix of garlic powder, onion powder, and Parmesan cheese. The result is perfectly seasoned popcorn with a distinct onion broth flavor.
While the new French Onion Popcorn is obviously great enjoyed straight out of the bag, Trader Joe's also suggests sprinkling some kernels around a holiday charcuterie board or cheese plate for some added texture and crunch.
