The word: Jean Arnold uses organic heirloom kernels (and not that inbred mess that appears in your microwave bag) and hand grinds her own spices for her haute popcorn line.  
Tasting notes: Mellowed out by the sweetness of the caramel and the natural fat in the almonds, the chipotle flavor is warm without being overtly spicy. Small, dense kernels pack a pleasing crunch. So pleasing, it isn't hard to inhale what appears to be a large box in one sitting.
Buy it again? Yes.
Extra credit: There's a danger that you'll find at least one of Arnold's eight flavors to be insatiably addictive. Even with our sweet tooth, it's the White Truffle + Cheddar for us, followed closely by this one.
