Reviewing Target Favorite Day Snacks, Treats, and Candies

Popcorn


Strawberry and Blue Raspberry Caramel Corn Bag

Score: 6.25 / 10

To me, these are 85% sugary tasting and maybe 15% berry-like. Really, I can’t even figure out either of the flavors, but there does appear to be some light candy fruit/berry-like taste. In a sense, it reminds me of Fruity Pebbles but nowhere near as bold in terms of flavor. Overall, these mostly taste and feel like that caramelized sweet popcorn you find in popcorn tins: sweet and crunchy.

I had high hopes I’d get some more berry taste, but nope, the sugar overpowers much of it, especially after you’ve eaten several and the berry flavors take a backseat. In a way, this popcorn feels boring.

I’m unsure of an exact release date. Found July 2025.


S’mores Caramel Corn Popcorn Bag

Score: 6.75 / 10

Ever had that cheap, crunchy, and sweet caramelized popcorn in those holiday tins? This is nearly that, but with the faintest hint of chocolate and graham, and surprisingly, perhaps a smidge sweeter. Honestly, overall, this popcorn is pretty darn sweet, one of the sweetest I’ve had! The texture is also more or less identical to its caramelized counterpart: pleasantly crunchy with a good mouthfeel.

That’s really it. Unfortunately, I didn’t taste any marshmallow—they are very tiny, and there aren’t many of them after all. I wish they (and even the graham crackers) contributed more. Larger marshmallows, and instead of graham cracker dust, replacing them with mini ones would have been a lot better.

Notably, I did notice a lot of graham cracker dust and tiny marshmallows gathered at the bottom, which did offer a wacky combination of textures with not much difference in terms of flavors or sweetness.

While I can’t find an exact release date, reviews date back to around May 2024. Found June 2025.


Mummy Munch Kettle Corn Flavored Popcorn

Score: 6.5 / 10

Front package of Target Favorite Day Mummy Munch Kettle Corn flavored popcorn.

The green, white chocolate shell around these is almost a little hard, and the popcorn inside is a typical soft, crunchy kettle corn popcorn. It’s one of the sweetest candy popcorns I’ve had! I really like how it’s mostly a white chocolate taste, and the popcorn taste isn’t too noticeable and doesn’t make it taste odd.

Target exclusive brand. Not sure when this was released, but it likely was released for the Halloween season. Found November 2023.
