The original Funky Chunky Popcorn from Funky Chunky Inc. is a combination of dark, milk, and white chocolate drizzled over already caramel covered popcorn. Just in case that wouldn’t be enough… they also threw in almonds, pecans and cashews. So if you ever wondered what would happen if you put Cracker Jacks on steroids, this is it.
The tri-chocolate drizzle on top of the caramel covered popcorn alone puts this concoction over the top on sugar, and quite possibly makes it a diabetic’s public enemy number one. Besides the over sweetness (which before this, I never knew there could be such a thing) the problem is the severe lack of a distinct taste. We love each of the chocolates for their individuals flavors, but this carelessly throws them aside for an apparent sugar shock value.
The nuts never really stood a chance with this Frankenstein monster dominating them like the big bad bully in the schoolyard, but are the saving grace of the snack. While being lightly caramelized, they also seemed to avoid the multi-chocolate bath and only had one kind of chocolate or the other.
Popcorn’s Rating:
- Such a funky snack deserves to be consumed while watching Funky Monkey
to complete that craptastically funky experience.- We recommend having a few doses of insulin on standby.

I think this article couldn’t be any more true. I just tried Funky Chunky for the first time and was overly impressed by the numerous flavors complimenting one another. Yes, there was plenty of sugar, but this is a snack/dessert item, so it’s to be expected. I had no problem noticing the taste of all the different nuts. I will definitely be ordering again, and disregarding this blog post.

Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire.
