Sweet Popcorn

I can get all my usual English sweets and chocolate in various places in Brisbane but have yet to find somewhere that sells sweet popcorn. Not that toffee covered stuff, the proper sweet stuff like you get in cinemas in England. Anyone know of a place I can get it over here? The salty stuff just doesn't cut it for me.

You can buy that really disgusting sweet, coloured stuff at the supermarket, but it's gross.

Re: Sweet Popcorn

Coles do an organic sweet one (might be sweet and salty from memory)... does the trick...

Else just cook your own and chuck a ton of sugar on it instead ;)

My OH misses sweet popcorn as well and recently a family member sent some over amongst other things and it was taken out of the parcel by quarantine as it was seeds and was not allowed into Aus...:rofl::rofl:

I like this one http://www.organicsonly.com.au/produ...ly_sweet/640/1

I also find the normal fare too salty.
