YUM! I love popcorn! My favorite is actually the mix you listed. I normally get some of each and mix them myself.
i love love love good ole movie popcorn or moose munch..popcorn, drizzled choco, caramel, nuts, etc..mmmmmmm
I love plain ole' movie theater popcorn. I usually buy a big bag so I can snack on it throughout the week. 🙂
Popcorn is one of my favorite things! My favorite way to eat popcorn though is when my Mom and I get together every Halloween and make Carmel Popcorn Balls (with M&M's)! They are gooey and delicious!
I lvoe Garrets popcorn with the carmel and cashews!! So good!!!
I can't for the life of me remember the name of this popcirn but it's chocolate & white chocolate drizzled. It's sinfully good!
I love cheese popcorn! Or any of the flavored popcorns – more savory than sweet!
Mmmm… count me in! I LOVE popcorn! I eat it almost every night! 🙂 My mom and I normally add in Peanut M&Ms as a little extra treat!
I love popcorn with butter (I use the spray butter) and dry ranch dressing sprinkled over the top!
I love Garretts Mix! Yummy caramel and cheese popcorn mixed together for a flavor that is only Chicagos!
Kettle Corn!
The Garrett Mix sounds awesome — the same salt and sugar combo that I like when I mix popcorn and M&Ms… mmmmmm.
I love movie theater popcorn and cheddar flavored!!
(I'm probably not eligible to win, but I love popcorn). I prefer cheddar cheese and caramel mix just like Garrett's has.
Hubs and I love air popped popcorn tossed with some butter and salt. So simple, but so good! I am also a kettle corn fan, especially the kind from carnivals!
I love movie theatre popcorn. With extra butter of course!
I normally don't eat too much popcorn, but I love caramel popcorn… and I've recently become addicted to kettle corn!

I love popcorn with white chocolate.
I love Kettle Corn. Slightly sweet, slightly salt – and oh so good!
It really depends on my mood. I love kettle corn freshly popped. But I also love white cheddar popcorn or a mix of the 2.
Butter with a little Garlic Salt…Perfect for sitting down to a good movie.
My dad makes the best oil popped popcorn ever! That's def my fav!
I love caramel popcorn. The only way I like buttered popcorn is the jelly belly type.
Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

With lots and lots of butter!!
I love to make caramel corn. I put in tons of pecans that I add first to the caramel so they get coated, too. So delicious!
I love it with cheese or carmel, not sure I would like them mixed, but I will give it a try.

mixed with chocolate chips, malt balls or chocolate-covered almonds…so good!
Caramel corn!!
Caramel is one of my favorites, second only to movie theater popcorn with tons of butter.:)
Toss-up between Cheddar and good old fashion movie theater popcorn light on the butter. Now I'm craving it, thanks a lot, Joelen!!!
I love Kettle Corn from our local fair in September and 4th of July festival. The bag is gone in no time.
my husband makes the best popcorn – fresh popped on the store with a good dash of salt right after it pops!
I adore movie popcorn with tons of butter! It's totally a heart attack waiting to happen, but I so don't care.
I thought that I invented that (!): mixing the cheese and the caramel in a bowl to snack on while watching a game or movie. The salt and the sweet is a great combination.
Maybe I heard about Garrett's doing it on Oprah. I would love to taste the real thing.
Kettle corn is my favorite, but I love any kind of salty/sweet popcorn combo, particularly if there is chocolate involved!
I love caramel corn, especially from Garrett's. I feel like I could eat the entire tub in one sitting.
Kettle Corn, or homemade caramel popcorn!
My favorite is Movie popcorn – the kind you can only get at the theater. I also love caramel popcorn. I had Garrett's popcorn once when a co-worker brought some in after her weekend trip to Chicago. It was yummy and addictive! My birthday is coming up, so I hope I win this treat for me! 🙂
I am a huge fan of kettle corn. I also love some of the specialty popcorns with chocolate drizzle!
My fave is Kettle Korn!!
Depends on the mood. However I love a white cheddar popcorn, a kettle corn, or buttered popcorn with chocolate drizzle.
I LOVE popcorn drizzled with chocolate – either white or dark! The mix of salty and sweet is so good – just like the cheese and caramel flavors!
This would be a wonderful prize, especially since we missed Garrett's during our trip to Chicago in October!! We love caramel corn or cheddar cheese!!
I LOVE cheese popcorn but also enjoy caramel corn with spiced pecans and M&M's tossed in!
The whole popcorn-drizzled-with-chocolate thing is addictive. I recently had Garrett's for the first time, and I could not believe how great it was.
Carmel corn rules!!!
It's a toss up between cheese popcorn and chocolate/caramel popcorn!
Garrett's has the BEST popcorn ever, i've only had it once and it was 2 years ago – but I still remember!
at home I love my whirley pop popcorn popper with I can't believe its not butter spray 🙂
caramel and cheese… always….
It's a tossup between simply stovetop-popped with butter, or Garrett's caramel – which I haven't eaten in about 10 years, but can still remember from my time in Chicago…
i am a cheese popcorn girl all the way..any kind of cheese and plenty of it!!
Caramel and cheese mix has always been my favorite but I recently tried the pecan caramel and love that too!!!
Email me
Love love love Garret Mix, especially when hot and fresh, mmmm!!
I looooove caramel corn. My friend's mom used to make it when she'd come visit. SO GOOD!
Everyone loves Popcorn, and Chicago loves Garrett's Popcorn. It's the BEST!
I love the mix of cheese and caramel. When it's hot on a slightly cool day, it's the best snack to take strolling on Chicago streets.
I like the shiny red cinnamon popcorn. And if I am at the movie theater then it is milk duds and buttered popcorn!
butter, parm cheese and black pepper. yum!
my mouth is watering for some tasty cheese and caramel mix!
thanks!
I've never had Garrett Popcorn but I would love to try it. My favorite popcorn is Moose Munch from Harry & David.
Popcornopolis! Their caramal corn is amazing!
my favorite is caramel corn!
I LOVE Garrett Popcorn!!! Caramel Crisp is my favorite and I love any kind of kettle corn.
Popcorn is my go to food for dinner or snacks….love it.
