The Popcorn Bar


Wintergreen Popcorn Bar


Chomp, crunch, crackle goes the popcorn bar!

During April vacation I spent a day at Salem Willows.  My mom spent her summers there when she was a kid and she wanted to take my brother, father and me for a day trip.  I've never been there before and I thought it was really exciting!  After playing Skeeball at the Arcade, we walked down to E.W. Hobbs to get some popcorn bars.  We could smell the popcorn before we got to the counter!

It was really interesting to see the popcorn bars being made.  The workers would take flavored popcorn and spread it out in big sheet pans.  Then they would cut them into rows, make rectangular bars and wrap them in parchment paper.  They come in many different flavors.  We bought molasses (which is like Cracker Jacks), molasses with coconut and to the left - Wintergreen.  There is also vanilla, chocolate and orange flavored bars.  We all shared the different bars - my favorite was molasses!  I've never seen anything like the popcorn bars before, but I hope we go back again so we can try them all.
