Occasionally, I like to pop a bag of popcorn when I'm watching a movie late at night, but it seems most brands no longer make microwave popcorn like they use to as most of the popcorn ends up burning. The same goes for popcorn at the movie theaters, except it is lathered with too much butter and it is sickening to eat.
I very seldom buy a plain bag of popcorn as my old air-popcorn maker has seen its last days. However, I can always make popcorn using an old fashioned metal pan and lid, so when I saw there was an opportunity to review Franklin's Gourmet Popcorn, I eagerly signed up. Luckily, I was one of the few bloggers who got a chance to review the popcorn.
What a treat it was to receive a box by UPS last Thursday filled with 8 oz - 24 packs of Franklin's Gourmet Popcorn. Each pack contains 100% whole grain organic popcorn kernels, coconut oil and salt. The bag is being sold on Amazon for $39.95, which may seem a little pricey, but once you think about it, it is only around $1.67 per pack.
Since I don't have a kettle popper, I just used a metal pan and lid over a burner to make the popcorn. Each pack has been per-messured, but you can control how much salt to put into it. I would have never thought of using coconut oil for popcorn, but it works wonders, giving the popcorn a buttery flavor.
Overall, Franklin's Gourmet Popcorn has a great taste. I was surprised that I didn't burn any of the popcorn while popping it. Considering I did use all the salt that was in the packet, the popcorn didn't taste salty. Actually, it tasted just right. Trust me you're going to need a big bowl or two if you buy the 8 oz packs as one pack makes a lot of popcorn!
