Popcorn…one of the most popular movie time snacks. I love popcorn just as much as the next person, but the skins of the kernels always seem to find their way to get stuck between my teeth. Medora Snacks out of New York has the perfect answer to this dilemma with their Popcorners Popped Corn Chips. The manufacturer sent us samples of these amazingly tasty chips that we just fell in love with.
The Popcorners come in 5 flavors: White Cheddar, Cheesy Jalapeno, Butter, Sea Salt and Kettle. They are all delicious, but if I had to choose out of the flavors, White Cheddar is probably my favorite. The chips resemble a tortilla chip. They are triangular and have a slight curve to them that make it perfect for scooping up your favorite dip although they taste great on their own. These taste exactly like popcorn and the flavoring on them just enhances the popcorn rather than overpowers it. The overall flavor is very light. As for the texture, it’s not quite popcorn-like, but it’s a very nice light texture. Bite into it and it has a nice crunch, much like the texture of a very thin rice chip.
These delicious snacks are fairly healthy too. They are all natural and they are actually popped rather than fried. Each 1oz serving contains 130 calories, 3 grams of fat, no cholesterol and 2 grams of protein. Sodium differs from flavor to flavor. Kettle has just 105mg, Cheesy Jalapeno has 115mg, White Cheddar has 120mg, Sea Salt has 170mg and butter has 280mg of sodium per serving.
Medora Snacks has put a lot of care into their products. Although the facility they make their products in is not a designated gluten free facility, they have an isolated gluten free area. The gluten free products have their own segregated line to prevent cross contamination from occurring. They also test their products regularly as an added precaution.
Overall, we loved these chips a lot. At just $1.99-$2.29 per bag, they’re a pretty good value too. It’s a good thing too, because you will probably be buying a lot of these being as addictive as they are.
