My family LOVES this stuff. Cheddar popcorn and caramel popcorn mixed together is sensational. I've had caramel popcorn fresh from Garrett's in Chicago and the bagged version here is still delicious. The salty and the sweet mixed together make a great match.

I’m originally from Illinois, where Garrett’s Popcorn is a popular treat. If you enjoy a mix of cheese and caramel, this is the snack for you! I love the combination of both flavors. The cheese flavor really reminds me of Kraft macaroni and cheese. The caramel is sweet and crunchy, yet not overly hard. Just a tip: make sure to mix the bag before opening it; otherwise, all the caramel will settle at the bottom, leaving the cheddar on top since the caramel is heavier. What I appreciate most is that it’s non-GMO, contains no artificial colors or flavors, and is made with real ingredients. Overall, I’d give this popcorn a solid 10 out of 10!

This is my new favorite popcorn snack. I was a bit skeptical about caramel and cheddar mixing, but I’m pleasantly surprised. They are great together. It’s a nice sweet and salty mix. Very tasty. Currently, it is my go-to snack now that football season has started. It’s also handy when I’m craving a snack but can’t decide what I want. This is definitely something I’ll be getting again.

Mix is a good balance of sweet and savory. The rich buttery caramel pairs well with the bold and sharp cheddar cheese corn. Really good blend of flavors in every bite. The popcorn received was fresh, crunchy, and well coated. Truly a classic snacks.

I love many different flavors of popcorn, and not long ago after years of turning down caramel & cheddar mix I finally tried it. What I had then was good, but this bag of Garrett’s popcorn was very good! The caramel was crunchy and sweet, the cheese was crunchy with just the right amount of cheddar flavor. It was hard not to eat the entire bag all at once! The bag was shipped in a box and undamaged, and the popcorn was very fresh tasting upon arrival. 5 stars!

The cheddar and caramel mix is bold, but for me, the flavors were a bit too strong together. The cheddar comes through sharp and salty, while the caramel is very sweet and rich. Instead of balancing each other out, I felt like they competed, making the mix a little overwhelming. I’d probably enjoy them better separately or with a lighter touch on the seasoning

I’m not a great fan of sweet and salty. The sweet part of the popcorn is good but I do not like the salty part if you like sweet and salty go for it but my family did like it so like I said if you like sweet and salty go for it you will love it because the popcorn is fresh

Something I like to include in my reviews if I can is not just my feedback but my wife's. So this is a 2 for 1 review. But first, you have to suffer through my portion of it. For me, the caramel corn's flavor is a good mixture of very buttery and caramelized sugar. I get the buttery flavor right away and then it kind of disappears eventually as I keep eating. But note that I say caramelized sugar because it does taste like that and not some generic caramel flavor. I think it's incredibly tasty. And I say that as someone who tends to not really like most caramel corn. As for the cheese popcorn, I think it's very tasty, too. It seems to have a genuine aged cheddar flavor to it, too - it is pronounced and not like the usual powdered whatever cheese-like flavoring that a lot of cheese popcorn tends to have. So to me, whether it's the caramel corn or the cheese popcorn, the flavors hit the spot. Something else that matters quite a bit to me with popcorn is the amount of tough kernels or pieces of kernels leftover in my mouth as I eat it. I sometimes choke on it or get dry mouth and have to spit out the kernels, depending on the brand or variety. With this kind so far, yes, there are kernels leftover. But much fewer than a lot of other popcorn brands and varieties, and easier for me to deal with than most other brands and varieties. So all around, for me, I love this popcorn. I'm pouring some out into a bowl and eating one flavor at a time to fully enjoy it, rather than mixing them both, but I can't get enough of it. I will gladly buy it over and over again. This brand did it right. Onto my wife's thoughts. My wife loves popcorn. She's a popcorn fiend. It's a go-to snack for her, she's tried many kinds, and she has her likes and dislikes. Caramel corn happens to be something she just loves, while she usually doesn't like cheese popcorn. Again, it seems to be because of the usual powdered whatever fake cheese stuff a lot of brands put on cheese popcorn. She will barely touch it. Oddly enough, she prefers the cheese popcorn from this bag, for the fact that it does actually taste like aged cheddar cheese. She isn't as much of a fan of the caramel corn though. She didn't get the buttery flavor that I got. And when she described the caramel flavor, she described it as burnt sugar, which in itself is not a bad thing, but it's a little too pronounced for her. Something both my wife and I agree on with this popcorn, though, is that we don't get the combination of caramel popcorn and cheese popcorn. Why are we doing that? Is it really a thing? For me, I feel like it washes the flavor out - I can't taste the cheese popcorn at all if I eat both at the same time. The caramelized (or as my wife said, burnt) sugar flavor is cut some by eating both at the same time. But again, it's at the cost of just kind of muddling the flavor as a whole. So when I eat it, I pour some out and then focus on eating one flavor at a time so I can enjoy it more. All this being said, I have to say that this popcorn is some of my favorite I've ever had. Probably my favorite of these two flavors. The flavors were rich, pronounced, and enjoyable, the texture was good, there aren't a lot of kernels or pieces of kernels leftover in my mouth as I eat it, and it's a big bag. I can't get enough of it. If you're at all open to even *trying* caramel corn or cheese popcorn, I would recommend trying it to see if you'll like it. It was something I was expecting to just be a run-of-the-mill snack when I got it, but I'm serious when I say that I'm now going to be getting this regularly. This may be my new favorite.
