If you are ever in the ABQ area or just driving through, the Popcorn Cannery is a must-stop. In a…read morenot-so-great neighborhood off of Interstate 40, this white and red building is home to many different flavors of popcorn. The ones I will drive hundreds of miles for are the ones of chile variety, both sweet and savory. Red chile mixed with caramel corn is an unexpected delight. In NM, you don't have to decide between red or green chile, just order Christmas style. Savory styles can have Hatch green chile, red chile, or both, and can be left plain or dusted with cheese powder. Craveable perfection that can be bought in small or large bags. When it isn't the holidays, Popcorn Cannery's friendly service is available M-Th 9-5pm and 4pm on Fridays.

A variety of flavors of kettle corn as well as the classic kettle corn are popped and seasoned to perfection! They also have a variety of baked goods and they carry Black Rifle Coffee!

But let me warn you, once you start munching on the delicious sweet, salty goodness, you may not be able to stop!

It is hard to pick a favorite, but if I had to, I think their biscochito kettle corn is hard to beat. I ordered popcorn to be sent out as gifts and they were so helpful and so accommodating. They went above and beyond making sure the gifts were perfect. I am from NM but don't live there anymore, so when I go home, this is such a wonderful treat. I think they would make great gifts for events also!

The facility is nice and bright, with a red-and-white theme and pops of starbursts painted on the walls. Displays are not overly crowded, allowing the items to be showcased. I was greeted immediately by an employee and offered a sample of dark chocolate salted caramel. Yum! I was very happy with my purchase (as was my pup). The white chocolate coconut pattie was full of toasted coconut flavor, and the Christmas Mix popcorn with green and red chile cheese flavors never disappoints. I did have to break the frosted dog bone into smaller parts since it was so big, but my dog ate it up. You can order ahead for pickup as well.

While I usually go to Buffet's Cannery off of 7th, I was hoping to find my popcorn here. They did have a few selections of popcorn, but not the exact flavor I wanted. This store did have a ton of chocolates, including the noted Red Chili brittle. This is delicious and a must have! Buffets has very friendly staff and even offers you a free sample when you enter. Buffets reminds me of what I have seen Candy stores looking like from the 1950s - very retro! It was a blast from the past.
