Much like folks who claim Die Hard<\/em> is a Christmas movie (raises hand), Smartfood seems to want to make the chocolate cake pop a holiday flavor, even though it\u2019s one that can get slotted into any time of year.<\/p>\n I get it. Getting to say you were the original brand that brought the world the next pumpkin spice or peppermint mocha and have everyone else take your flavor idea and chocolate cake pop-ize every product possible is smart. But Smartfood could\u2019ve done it a little better.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve tasted a variety of chocolate cakes over the years \u2014 standard Betty Crocker\/Duncan Hines chocolate cake with frosting, Hostess CupCakes, Dobash cake, German chocolate cake, chocolate blackout cake, lava cake, and chocolate birthday cupcakes from a grocery store bakery. But I don\u2019t get a hint of flavor from any of those baked goods in the dark coating on every kernel in this bag of Smartfood Chocolate Cake Pop Popcorn. Heck, I have to reach a state of mindfulness to even notice any cocoa notes.<\/p>\n But that lack of pronounced chocolate cake flavor doesn\u2019t make this unwanted, like a lump of coal or a spindle of blank CDs in your Christmas stocking. While it doesn\u2019t scream chocolate cake or chocolate, there\u2019s a mellow, nondescript sweetness that still makes this a decent tasting snack.<\/p>\n Smartfood Chocolate Cake Pop Popcorn doesn\u2019t fail like a terrorist leader who meets his demise by falling out of a Nakatomi Plaza window. But, despite the green-colored bag with red ribbons, the brand doesn\u2019t convince me that chocolate cake pop is a holiday flavor. It\u2019s trying too hard to make something happen, like me shoehorning a last-minute Die Hard<\/em> reference into this review to bring everything full circle.<\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/strong> $2.49 Much like folks who claim Die Hard is a Christmas movie (raises hand), Smartfood seems to want to make the chocolate cake pop a holiday flavor, even though it\u2019s one that can get slotted into any time of year.
