No movie night tradition would be complete without a huge bowl of freshly popped corn for the whole family to share. Choosing the perfect popcorn might not be as easy as you think! Every person has a preference when it comes to the best popcorn. In my house, we like to mix caramel and buttered popcorn, but that's definitely not everyone's cup of tea! Check out the choices below before your next movie night.
Double K Kettle Corn
An irresistible combo of salty and sweet flavor
This brand is a little different than your average popcorn. Double K makes popcorn in lots of unusual flavors like picante and white cheddar. The kettle corn variety is my favorite, however, because it delivers the perfect combination of sweet and salty flavor. You'll want the whole bowl to yourself!
Orville Redenbacher’s SmartPop!
Best for calorie counters
Love buttered popcorn but afraid of the calories and fat content? If yes, then you'll love Smartpop from Orville Redenbacher. This popcorn is butter flavored, but it's 94 percent fat-free with only 15 calories per serving. All of the popcorn, and none of the guilt!
Amish Country Popcorn
The real deal
If you prefer to eat natural, whole foods, this popcorn is straight off the farm. All-natural and organic, you'll feel like you're eating popcorn the old fashioned way. You can always add butter and salt if you find natural popcorn a bit bland. For this kind of popping corn, you can either cook it on the stovetop or in a microwave popcorn-popper bowl.
Act II Movie Theatre Butter Popcorn
Best for a theatre-like experience
For that movie-theatre flavor, try this popcorn from Act II. They use theatre-style butter flavoring to make it taste just like popcorn from the cinema! Movie theatre butter popcorn will make family movie night feel even more authentic.
Orville Redenbacher’s Caramel Microwave Popcorn
Best for sweet tooths
Got a sweet tooth? Then you're probably a fan of caramel-flavored popcorn. Never fear, Orville Redenbacher has got you covered. You can cook up this caramel popcorn right in the microwave for sugary, sweet kernels that are hot and ready to eat. I like to mix it with salty buttered popcorn for a surprising flavor explosion, but you do you!
Let's get poppin'
It's not family movie night without popcorn, so you'd better order yours right away. Our favorite is Double K Kettle Corn for its delicious combination of sweet and salty flavors. You won't believe how good it is until you try it. But, before you choose, you might want to consult the peanut gallery. Everyone in the family will want a say on which popcorn you choose for movie night.
