While the concept is a wonderful one \u2014 soft, warm, cinnamon blasted cookies in popcorn form! \u2014 the execution is lackluster. There is no uniformity, really, with about every tenth piece achieving a perfect nirvana of true Snickerdoodle bliss.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Smartfood-Snickerdoodle-Popcorn-Seasoning.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Smartfood Snickerdoodle Popcorn Seasoning\" title=\"Smartfood Snickerdoodle Popcorn Seasoning.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The pieces that escape the cinnamon-sugar bath are bland and unseasoned, small, chewy bits of lightly salted styrofoam. Also disappointing is the lack of a discernible butter profile, a key component of the cookie experience.<\/p>\n<h3>Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>Smartfood White Cheddar is wonderful, so I had high hopes for this. Alas, my heart was broken. Additionally, I had no idea that the brand also has Hot Buffalo and Sour Cream &#038; Onion versions. Are these any good? I guess that\u2019s more of a \u201canything else *I* need to know.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>Lots of moderately sized cities seem to have \u201cgourmet\u201d popcorn shops these days, and, in my experience, most of these have some riff on the \u201ccinnamon toast\u201d popcorn variety. So do yourself a favor and get a bag of that, instead. Chances are, you\u2019ll be much happier.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t have a gourmet popcorn shop, you should open one. And if you don\u2019t want to do that, maybe go with a bag of Pop Secret and hit it with some of the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cinnadust <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2020\/10\/27\/cinnamon-toast-crunch-cinnadust-seasoning-blend-review\/\">we recently reviewed<\/a>.
