As a long-time fan of gourmet popcorn, I was thrilled to try the iconic Garrett Mix from Garrett Popcorn Shops in the generous 20 oz size. This Chicago-based company has been crafting delicious popcorn since 1949, and their signature mix does not disappoint. Flavor Profile: The Garrett Mix is a heavenly combination of their Caramel Crisp and Cheese Corn varieties. The contrast between the sweet, crunchy caramel corn and the savory, cheese-coated kernels creates an addictive flavor explosion in every handful. The balance is perfect, with neither flavor overpowering the other. Texture: Both types of popcorn in this mix maintain their distinct textures. The caramel corn is satisfyingly crunchy with a glossy coating, while the cheese corn has a slightly softer bite with a dusting of real cheddar cheese. The kernels are consistently well-popped, with very few unpopped seeds at the bottom of the bag. Freshness: Even though this was a packaged product and not fresh from their shops, the popcorn maintained an impressive level of freshness. The 20 oz bag is resealable, which helps to keep the contents crisp and delicious for several days after opening (if it lasts that long!). Packaging: The 20 oz size is perfect for sharing or for solo snacking over a few days. The iconic striped bag is attractive and functional, with clear nutritional information and ingredients list. Value: While premium-priced compared to regular store-bought popcorn, the quality and unique flavor combination justify the cost for a special treat or gift. Cons: The calorie content is quite high, so it's not an everyday snack for the health-conscious. Some may find the cheese flavor a bit strong or artificial-tasting. Overall, Garrett Popcorn Shops' Garrett Mix is a delightful indulgence that lives up to its reputation. Whether you're a Chicago native missing a taste of home or a popcorn enthusiast looking to try something special, this 20 oz bag of sweet and savory goodness is sure to satisfy your cravings.

We served this at my son’s movie-themed birthday party. The guests were thrilled to try such a unique combination of popcorn varieties. The popcorn looked and tasted fantastic! It was well packaged, and tasted fresh. This may become a new staple snack in our home!

This popcorn was delicious! Couldn’t stop eating it. Kids loved it as well. Has a nice cheddary taste with a little bit of sweetness to follow it up. Perfect Snack for the family to enjoy together while watching a movie or having to get together definitely recommend

The texture of this popcorn is perfect. The right amount of crunch but not too much to seem stale. The two flavors together were a bit odd and wouldn’t recommend eating them together. But separately they’re good. The cheese was delicious, while the caramel almost tasted burnt which I wasn’t a big fan of. Overall, this would work great for a movie night or when you need a sweet/salty snack.

This is the best sweet, salty, and cheesy combination! Perfect for a movie night or afternoon snack! My kids LOVE it also. You do have to shake it before opening or it won’t mix very well, but that’s a simple fix to get a good balance of taste. The popcorn is cooked well and never burnt. The bag is a nice size for sharing with my whole family and is pretty full when I open it. Very satisfied every time I buy this popcorn!

The popcorn in the bag definitely shifts and requires a really good shake prior to opening if you want a good mix of cheddar and caramel (if not, the cheddar is on top and the caramel is on the bottom). The cheddar popcorn has a nice cheesy, salty flavor. The caramel corn is delicious and has the perfect amount of crunch. However, the two mixed together are not a great combination. There does seem to be an equal ratio of cheese to caramel, which is nice. Do be careful as there are lots of hard bits mixed in as well. The bag is very big and was very full-lots of snacks!

At first glance, caramel and cheese popcorn might seem like an unlikely pairing, but the combination proves surprisingly delicious. The sweet, buttery caramel creates a rich contrast against the sharp, savory tang of the cheese, creating a flavor profile that dances on your taste buds. Each bite delivers a perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness, with the creamy caramel coating the popcorn while the cheese adds a satisfying kick. The mix of textures—sticky caramel and crunchy, cheesy kernels—only enhances the experience, making it an irresistible treat that you didn't know you needed. I would definitely recommend bringing this any family gathering or perhaps even having it for a movie night.

This is a great product. Perfect balance of cheese and caramel with big popcorn pieces. Also a very big bag and at a good price. I had never heard of the brand before but will be looking into their other products as well from now on. Definitely a must try.

Calling all popcorn enthusiasts! If you're a fan of the irresistible cheddar and caramel popcorn, you have to try the Garrett Mix from Garrett Popcorn Shops. It's the ultimate sweet-and-savory treat that hits all the right notes. With the holidays just around the corner, this makes a perfect snack to share at gatherings or gift to fellow foodies. I brought a bag to my niece’s party, and six different guests gave it a try—every single one of them raved about it. Safe to say, it was a hit!

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.
