Cinnamon Bun - Shirley's Gourmet Popcorn flavor of the month

Shirley's Gourmet Popcorn flavor of the month is "Cinnamon Bun." As Pete Suter puts it: "Our rich caramel is great by itself... but in January we coat it with smooth white chocolate and sprinkle it with a touch of cinnamon to create an incredible flavor."

"This is the perfect flavor to warm you up on a cold January day... Shirley's Cinnamon Bun popcorn tastes just like grandma's cinnamon rolls - right out of the oven," he said.
