Gourmet popcorn is a specialty snack that elevates traditional popcorn by using high-quality ingredients and unique flavor combinations. Unlike standard popcorn, which is typically buttered and salted, gourmet popcorn can feature a variety of toppings, such as cheese, caramel, chocolate, and even spices. This type of popcorn is often made in small batches to ensure freshness and can be found in specialty shops or online. It appeals to a wide range of tastes, offering options for both sweet and savory preferences. Gourmet popcorn is popular for parties, gifts, and as a unique treat for movie nights.
