I am CRAZY for Funky Chunky Candy Cane Popcorn!

If the saying "You are what you eat" is true then I am Candy Cane Popcorn.

It is a combination of peppermint bark and caramel popcorn. It's described as rich, buttery caramel popcorn with glazed macadamia nuts, smothered in smooth white peppermint drizzle and sprinkled with crushed candy cane.


Please come and buy it so I will stop eating it.
