Dale and Thomas Gourmet Popcorn {Twelve-Bag Sampler Review & Giveaway}

{This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations, DeeAnn!}

Confession time: I've never been a huge fan of popcorn.

While it is one of my husband's go-to snacks and a food that my daughters can't get enough of, I tend to find myself feeling a little unfulfilled (not to mention still hungry) after I've eaten my bowl, gotten to the bottom of my bag, or simply munched on a few handfuls of popcorn. Besides, where's the chocolate?

Therefore, when I was introduced to Dale and Thomas Popcorn, I assumed that I would have a few handfuls and then turn the rest over to my family to take over. It might be fresh and it might be crunchy, but how different could it really be?

Little did I know, it wasn't more than two minutes into trying my first bite that I would be completely and utterly addicted.

Not only would I be anxious to open more and more bags of their delicious, irresistible flavors right then, but I would find myself returning to eat more of the Easter Twelve-Bag Sampler later that afternoon, that evening, and then again for breakfast the next morning.

Now this is popcorn.

By taking popcorn to the extreme, Dale and Thomas Popcorn has found a way to blend the crunchy texture with amazing sweet and salty flavors - resulting in something that is gourmet, mouth-watering and will have you returning to it time and time again.

As well as classics like Kettle Corn and Caramel Corn, Dale and Thomas has wonderfully unique options such as Cinnamon Crème DrizzleCorn, Southwest Cheddar Chipotle, Dark Fudge with Praline Almonds and many more. No matter if you prefer sugar or spice, they've got an option that you're sure to love!

Of course, with 12 different flavors that all sound delicious, you might wonder how you would ever decide where to start, right? That is precisely why the number one best-selling product from Dale and Thomas Popcorn is their Traditional Twelve-Bag Sampler, giving your taste buds the chance to try out each and every one of them.

After bringing this large box inside, it struck me that Dale and Thomas had taken steps to be sure that the presentation of their products on the outside coordinates with the work that they've put to make the inside special.

After admiring the very cute Easter labeling...

I removed bag after bag of their huge assortment of popcorns. Who was going to eat all of this?

Looking over each one, I was happy to see that all popcorn from Dale and Thomas is hand-crafted using only the finest ingredients and that all of their gourmet flavors are gluten free and certified Kosher. No one has to be left out!

Plus, each included bag of popcorn in the Sampler is one foot long and serves 2-3 people, so there is plenty to share... unless you're like me and you open the Double Chocolate Drizzlecorn and know that there is no way that you're giving up even one kernel of this decadent treat.

Dark fudge over sweet-and-salty Kettle Corn and then topped with mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. Ohhhhhhhh my.

Although I did keep this particular bag all to myself (it ended up being my top favorite), I managed to share the rest, much to the delight of everyone who tasted them.

The Hall of Fame Kettle Corn earned its name, the Black & White Biscotti (caramel-dipped popcorn infused with the fresh Italian flavor of almond biscotti and then dressed with decadent dark fudge and a coating of white chocolate) was sweet and delicious...

...and the Peanut Butter & White Chocolate DrizzleCorn was my first experience combining peanut butter with popcorn — yum!

Big Sister E and Little Sister B were especially fond of the sugary varieties and were overjoyed with ones like Cinnamon Crème DrizzleCorn, Chocolate Chunk N'Caramel (fresh-popped corn topped with buttery caramel and studded with chunks of deep, chocolaty indulgence)...

...and Twice-As-Nice Chocolate DrizzleCorn (popcorn paired with two luscious chocolate toppings: creamy milk chocolate and dreamy white chocolate).

It's really just not possible to put out a bowl of Dale and Thomas popcorn and walk away from it! Eat me, eat me, eat me...

Whether you take the time to empty a bag of Dale and Thomas popcorn into a bowl (the Twelve-Bag Sampler would be perfect for parties to wow guests!) or you opt to reach in and munch on it straight out of the bag...

North Country Cheddar. Mmmmm!

...you'll find every bite tastes fresh and indulgent. Dale and Thomas is known for promising superior quality, excellent service and even a 100% satisfaction guarantee and, after having tried their scrumptious popcorn, I can see why they have so many devoted fans. There's just no comparing!

With purchasing options available to send for nearly any event or occasion (Mother's Day is coming up soon!) or by individual flavor, your lucky recipient is sure to be thrilled with a gift this tasty. Samplers can be purchased in packs of four, six, twelve, in a tub, crate and more, so you're sure to find an option that fits your size and budget. This Twelve-Bag Sampler retails for $49.95 and can't be beat!
