The Dutch Kernel

Sooo glad to welcome your store to Elkhart County. My fiancé and I came to visit this store last Sunday 10/24/21 and it was popcorn heaven. We tasted several flavors of popcorn and the young lady was patient and kind and encouraging us to try more. I don’t have to wish for Garrett’s Popcorn from Chicago anymore, they have a version here, that’s just as satisfying. The Amish Crack is dynamite, it’s probably my favorite, second to the Chicago style. Just go! You won’t regret it. If you’re cheap and put quantity over quality, this isn’t the place for you. You get what you pay for. I dislike when people enjoy something but complain about the price. If it’s delicious, who cares what it cost, be happy!

We got a bag of the sweet heat and a sampler that included Coppes Mix (carmel and cheddar), Spooky Mix (orange, black cherry, and grape), Turtle, Pumpkin Pie, and Buffalo Breath. Every single flavor was amazing. The sweet heat tastes just like carmel corn, but has this awesome spicy burn at the end. The turtle and pumpkin pie both have some additional frosting or chocolate on them, which make finding those special extra covered pieces even more awesome. I also have no idea how they get their kernals so large, seem bigger than any popcorn I've seen in the past. We lived about 30 minutes away from this store, but will be making the trip back to get another bag of sweet heat and try some additional flavors. Highly recommend.
