Very like people who declare Die Laborious is a Christmas film (raises hand), Smartfood appears to wish to make the chocolate cake pop a vacation taste, despite the fact that it’s one that may get slotted into any time of yr.
I get it. Attending to say you had been the unique model that introduced the world the subsequent pumpkin spice or peppermint mocha and have everybody else take your taste concept and chocolate cake pop-ize each product attainable is sensible. However Smartfood might’ve performed it a little bit higher.
I’ve tasted quite a lot of chocolate muffins through the years — normal Betty Crocker/Duncan Hines chocolate cake with frosting, Hostess CupCakes, Dobash cake, German chocolate cake, chocolate blackout cake, lava cake, and chocolate birthday cupcakes from a grocery retailer bakery. However I don’t get a touch of taste from any of these baked items at midnight coating on each kernel on this bag of Smartfood Chocolate Cake Pop Popcorn. Heck, I’ve to achieve a state of mindfulness to even discover any cocoa notes.
However that lack of pronounced chocolate cake taste doesn’t make this undesirable, like a lump of coal or a spindle of clean CDs in your Christmas stocking. Whereas it doesn’t scream chocolate cake or chocolate, there’s a mellow, nondescript sweetness that also makes this a good tasting snack.
Smartfood Chocolate Cake Pop Popcorn doesn’t fail like a terrorist chief who meets his demise by falling out of a Nakatomi Plaza window. However, regardless of the green-colored bag with purple ribbons, the model doesn’t persuade me that chocolate cake pop is a vacation taste. It’s making an attempt too arduous to make one thing occur, like me shoehorning a last-minute Die Laborious reference into this evaluate to deliver all the things full circle.
