Chunky Pig

Chunky Pig is a popcorn.

SAAYYY WHAATT?!?!

The name doesn't have anything to do with popcorn. But after you taste it, you'll know it belongs together.

Contemporary, innovative, smokey, salty, porky, bacon flavor infused into caramelized popcorn. The flavors were odd with my first bite but I began to crave for it more with each handful I shoved into my mouth. It's a tasty treat to add into your snack-able pantry.

Adding bits of bacon to caramel corn...brilliant! And delicious.

In one perfect package, you get sweet, salty, smoky, and crunchy. It is so satisfying.

Its a real cracker jack of a flavor.

(Ahem, sorry, I couldn't resist that one...)

Tasted at the Yelp Summer Sip-Nic 2013. I can't wait to visit them at the Gliman St. location and try more flavors and pick up some office gifts.

This is the best popcorn I have ever had!!! I ask for it every holiday & Birthday! I really really really Love it!!
Just the right balance of spice sweet and BACON!
Thank you for making such a delicious treat!

Brought some Chunky Pig bacon caramel corn with me to Salt Lake City and my colleagues are IN LOVE.

GINA, EXPAND! PRONTO!!! The world needs to experience your genius creation. I'm spreading the love to Taiwan next. You ready? :)

Thank you to the Shikhalamode blog and Little Artisan Shop for sending me a free foodie box...my first time ever winning a blog giveaway!

One of the samples was a mini bag of Chunky Pig's CANDIED BACON CARAMEL CORN. That's right, a mixture of bacon and caramel in popcorn form! With kettle corn being my favorite, I knew I would love this sweet & savory snack. The popcorn was generously coated in caramel with bits of candied bacon mixed in. The bacon actually added a really nice fatty, savory flavor that complemented the sweet caramel.

A quick peek at their website shows other dessert items made with candied bacon -- from cookies to chocolates. I will have to stop by a local Oakland or SF store that stocks Chunky Pig goodies to get my candied bacon fix because shipping is $7 to my house (ouch!).

Until then, I'll have to satiate myself with normal, boring, non-candied bacon popcorn.

Three words: Candied Bacon Popcorn. Food magic at its finest. Tasting this golden morsel is an experience and I can only say that to know these flavor profiles are to love these flavor profiles.

The salty bacon perfectly complements the sweet vermont maple syrup. Add a dash of cayenne pepper in there and I would be perfectly fine with this being my last meal :) Get yourself a case or two, and spread the Chunky Pig word :)

Hi, My name is Lynda and I'm addicted to sweets. I especially love the combination of salty/savory/sweet. I discovered salted caramels a few years back, and have recently experimented with a salted cayenne caramel that delivered sweet & salty with a kick. Then along came a chunky pig. True to piggy form - (s)he threw in a few more of my addictions to make this treat the best of the best. I'm surprised it's not illegal! So be careful who you share this with...

Now - ask yourself - Do you like caramel? Yes - keep reading.

Do you like popcorn? Of course you do - continue.

Do you like caramelized bacon? Hell yes!

Well, start with above and combine it with a touch of maple flavor and a little kick of cayenne. If you do that - you will begin your review with - Hi, I'M Steve and I'm addicted to ... Chunky Pig!
Seriously, if you can find this at one of the retail locations that have it. You must. They also make a bacon chocolate chip cookie that I can't wait to try. My local store is at Farm Fresh to You at the Ferry Building - or you can order online from their website. All the foodies on my list are getting oinked this Christmas. :)

I guess I am catching up with this bacon craze, I tried the Candied Bacon Caramel Corn, it's a great sweet and salty combo popcorn you will find addictive. You will find the same result with the chocolate and bacon cookies!!!!

It's a fantastic blend of bacon & caramel corn. You bite into one of the popped corns and that mixture of not-overly-sweet caramel (very important! not to feel like I'm just consuming spoonfuls of sugar) accompanied by a hint of flavorful, smoky bacon just delights your taste buds.

I could not put the bag down.

They also make great gifts.

Delish! This bacon essence caramel popcorn is light and crispy and best of all not sticky! The popcorns pretty much melt in your mouth and the whole experience of eating one of another is rather delightful. Definitely a dessert (super sweet), but a worthwhile one for sure. Highly recommend.
