This gluten-free caramel corn is not only suitable for people with Celiac's Disease, vegetarian diets or similar culinary restrictions, it also combines coffee and alcohol flavors. Available on Amazon from Joe & Seph, the caramel macchiato and whiskey-flavored popcorn consists of air-popped corn coated in a 5% whiskey mixture and caramel macchiato flavor. Described as having "a pleasing crunch with a smooth whiskey finish," the gluten-free caramel corn is handmade in England and contains real Scottish whiskey. Joe & Seph also offer a variety of other popcorn flavors.
The boozy treat will appeal to adults who have a sweet tooth but also enjoy grown-up tastes this Halloween. This is not the first time alcohol and coffee have been combined in a sweet either, although the high percentage of alcohol is remarkable.
