3 New Holiday Popcorn Flavors at Gaslamp Popcorn

All opinions are our own. We are busy sampling Gaslamp Popcorn‘s new holiday flavors! It comes in Apple Crumble Pie, Holiday Cookie, and Pumpkin Spice Pie! The Holiday Cookie has a hint of salt and sweet, and the Apple Crumble Pie is lightly sweetened with tart apples and cinnamon. They’re quite addicting and great for snacking! (We’re saving the Pumpkin Spice Pie for the next holiday family gathering.) Other varieties include: White Cheddar, Kettle Corn, and Cinnamon Caramel.

When tragedy befalls, Hiro transforms … READ MORE >>
