Sweet treats and corn that is popped

Only a few doors down from UrbanExchange lies perhaps the sweetest shop in this downtown stretch.

Great Northwest Popcorn doesn't have a website, but you will easily find it near this HUGE sign.



Inside there is a whole display case of hand made chocolate goodness. I was able to try the marshmallow dipped in caramel dipped in chocolate. Oh sweet heaven. It was like eating honey fresh from the hive in the early summer. There was also the 'chocolate puddles'. Hand made chocolate poured over nuts ... peanuts, cashews or almonds.

I picked a few of these up to send to the Misses. She wrote back that they were wonderful. Being the generous soul she is, she shared some with the neighbors. Their only complaint was the supply wasn't ample enough.



Finally, there was an interesting treat. "Popped corn" or something. They take dried kernels of corn and heat them up until they pop! It was a fun noise to here. After it is popped, they pour a sweet mixture that is flavored over the "popped corn".

I would have never thought of drying corn to heat it up and pop it. Let alone flavoring it with thing so sweet and tasty.



There is also some saltwater candy available. It was hardly salty, but very sweet and tasty. And flavorful. My favorite is certainly the sour apple flavor.

I hope you are doing well.

Until Next Time,
