FOFs Elaine Wyatt and Paula Kauffman are giving away this tower of chocolate-drizzled popcorn from their brilliant biz, b’drizzled. Enter to win by commenting below and answering: Do you prefer to snack on candy or popcorn when you go to the movies?
Thank you for entering. This contest is now closed.
Every holiday season for as long as they can remember, sisters-in-law and FOFs Elaine Wyatt and Paula Kauffman made their signature treat: double-drizzled chocolate popcorn. “Our family friends lovingly call it ‘crack corn’ because it’s so addicting,” says Elaine. “People love the sweet and salty combination of popcorn and candy when they go to the movies, and that’s exactly what our snack embodies.”
Elaine and Paula began to sell the treat at fundraisers to make money for their children’s student activities. “It sold great,” says Elaine. “People told us ‘you should take this into stores.'”
A longtime marketing consultant for high-end shopping centers, Elaine had an in with Hiller’s Markets, a Michigan-based gourmet chain. “We took it to their corporate headquarters for them to sample and they just loved it,” she remembers.
In 2006, Hiller’s Markets became the first stores to carry b’drizzled popcorn (the name Elaine and Paula decided on) and from there, business popped off.
Their popcorn is now sold in 30 gourmet markets in Michigan as well as Bed, Bath and Beyond stores in five states. Their bestsellers include “Double Chocolate Supreme,” “Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup,” and “Chocolate Cherry Cordial.” (Elaine’s favorite is Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup and Paula’s favorite is White Chocolate Peanut Butter Dream.) Elaine and Paula employ up to twenty employees at a time at their factory in Farmington Hills, Michigan, where they kettle pop and double-drizzle their premium popcorn each day.
Enter to win a b’drizzled popcorn tower, by answering this question in the comments, below: Do you prefer to snack on candy or popcorn when you go to the movies?

I absolutely love to have my popcorn when I go to the movies but I also love chocolate covered raisins. Sometimes I splurge on both!
Esther Sawyer says:
I prefer to snack on popcorn with tons of butter (rather butter flavored oil) and salt. I prefer savory taste. Various popcorn flavor additives give delicious variety.

I like the popcorn the best. Although by 14 year old, who goes to chick flicks with me that hubby would prefer not to go to, gets it all candy, soda, and popcorn. Of course, I steal a little of her candy–if she has chosen something good, which isn’t always the case.
Jennifer says:
I like both! I usually have popcorn and some sort of chocolate.

cher says:
I do like to go to the movies and the theater. However, having a severe hearing loss has prevented me from going unless there is rear window or open captions. I have to wait until they come out and rent them with captions (my fireinds hate that I can’t go anymore and me too!) i do love candy and for health reasons avoid it so my cupboards are stuffed with POPCORN. I do try and dress it up with a dizzle of different confections (less sugar) and nuts, spices etc. Now, I am hungry for a snack and wat a movie 🙂

This popcorn looks delicious!
Thanks for the giveaway.

popcorn
Hope says:
I prefer to snack on popcorn. You can’t beat that crunchy buttery flavor as you settle down in your seat and become immersed in a good movie. If it is a mediocre or a bad movie than the popcorn compensates for the disappointment on the screen !
DawnMarie Helin says:
Totally popcorn! Even with the microwave, who can get that hot, buttery, salty, in the dark so no-one-can-see-how much you’re eating experience??? and watch how many folks walk out with buttery stains on the pants (’cause who remembers to get a napkin? LOL)
shari says:
I cannot see a movie – OUT, or at HOME without having popcorn beside me. They go hand in hand!

Janice Neal says:
Popcorn, definitely! It helps to complete the movie-going experience.
Roz Rickman says:
Just love to eat buttery popcorn in a movie. The combination of diet coke and popcorn give me that ying-yang of flavors — salty and sweet. One of my very favorite food explosion in my mouth !
Robin says:
I prefer both! I always have both popcorn and some type of candy – usually a candy bar like Snickers, Butterfinger, Kit Kat or Almond Joy. It’s more fun to go back and forth between the salty and sweet flavors! Thanks for the chance to win!!
Shirley Hodge says:
I prefer to snack on popcorn and always ask for extra butter but not only at movies. I always pick popcorn over candy. Popcorn was a big favorite when I was growing up. I remember buttering my hands and making popcorn balls with my grandmother and right after Thanksgiving starting the strings of popcorn and cranberries that would adorn our tree.
Delores Kenyon says:
Popcorn then chocolate, then diet coke, popcorn, chocolate, diet coke, I think you get the picture here! Salty then sweet and repeat often!
I love movies but don’t get to the theather often because of the above- I must pack on 5 lbs. every time I go.
Eugenie says:
Popcorn, always.

I like both so chocolate drizzled popcorn works for me!
karen simmons says:
I would love to eat popcorn at the movies but then sugar daddy’s r great to with popcorn so I guess my answer would be both
Peggy says:
I love both because this is what I would do at the movies, which you will see I had the b’drizzled popcorn long before it had a name. In the late 70’s my son and I would go to the movies on Sat. afternoons and we would get popcorn and chocolate stars. I would pour the chocolate stars on top of the popcorn, shake it up and we would have the “so called” b’drizzled popcorn – and I still do it to this day.
Kathy says:
I only eat popcorn at the movies!!! Candy is for other times and occasions, but not during movie watching.
Carol says:
I prefer popcorn at the movies (it last longer) but my favorite snack is chocolate. How could it be better than chocolate drizzled popcorn!

Cherylm says:
Definitely popcorn — (with some junior mints thrown in!)

Patricia Assanowicz says:
No Doubt, it has to be popcorn, for some reason I LOVE the taste of popcorn at a movie theatre. My husband LOVES popcorn from the movies, we have not found a brand we love as much from the stores. So, when I really want to go out and see a movie, I use my popcorn ploy, my hubby will ask me what snacks we have and I always say, sorry we don’t have anything, but I sure would love some popcorn from the movie theatre with butter, before I know it we are out the door and buying a very large container of popcorn and enjoying time out and a good movie. I want to say I love the name of your company b’drizzled as I was reading I got stuck reading the different types of popcorn you sell, my mouth is still watering, the white chocolate peanut butter dream, are you kidding me??? I cannot lie, I would LOVE to win this and rent a movie and eat the best popcorn on the planet, what an awesome idea a popcorn tower for us to eat down to it’s foundation, thank you for the chance to win.
Vera J says:
Without a doubt… POPCORN! A movie is not a movie without popcorn. Well, and of course chocolate of some kind. So popcorn with chocolate… Perfect!
Judy says:
Definitely popcorn! Although I do also love chocolate. So this popcorn tower sounds perfect!
