In Fall 2010, Popcorn, Indiana launched the first ever line of Drizzled popcorn with a gourmet seasonal collection that included 4 flavors:  Dark Fudge Chocolate Chip Kettlecorn, Drizzled Black & White Kettlecorn, Drizzled Cinnamon Sugar Kettlecorn and Caramel Corn.  After a strong start and explosive growth in 2011, Popcorn, Indiana challenged their chefs to cook up a mouthwatering new collection for 2012.  They delivered in a big way, winning accolades for the Best New Product of 2012 from the New Jersey Food Council for Chocolate Peanut Butter Kettlecorn.

"Our mission has always been to expand the possibilities of popcorn," shares Hitesh R. Hajarnavis, President & CEO of Popcorn, Indiana. "By offering completely new indulgent popcorn treats, we are able to push the popcorn category to the next level.  Other companies have launched similar products this season and we welcome them to the category we created."  Hajarnavis also notes, "Since the 2011 program came to a close, consumers have been clamoring for its return via email, phone calls and social media commentary.  We are excited to be back with an even stronger lineup of flavors to rock some taste buds once again."

Hand-crafted from all-natural ingredients, these new flavors combine the crispy-crunch of popcorn with the perfect hint of sweet goodness. As with all Popcorn, Indiana products, the new varieties are all natural, gluten free, contain whole grains and have zero trans fats, cholesterol or preservatives.

Almond Biscotti and Roasted Peanut Caramel Popcorn will hit shelves in September and will remain staples in the Popcorn, Indiana line throughout the year. Dark Chocolate Peppermint Kettlecorn and Chocolate Peanut Butter Kettlecorn will expand the seasonal release of the "Indulgent" collection.  These limited edition flavors will be available in retailers nationwide through March.
