When Netflix comes on in our household, so, too, does the burner for popping homemade popcorn.

Recent samples of Johnson’s Popcorn, though, gave us another delicious way to enjoy movie night — without even turning on the stove.

Since 1940, this company has been tantalizing customers with the smell of freshly popped caramel corn wafting from its stand at the Ocean City, NJ boardwalk.

Until 1988, it was strictly a summer business that shut down after Labor Day, when the weather would turn cold and dreary. But eventually, the company realized the demand was there to support not only a year-round business, but two more boardwalk locations, as well as a thriving mail-order business.

It’s also added a couple more flavors over the years, but I decided to hone in on the original caramel plus the popular cheddar.

The popcorn is air-popped, then churned with seasonings in copper kettles.

The popcorn retains a nice crispness with the caramel one tasting like sweet toffee, thanks to the brown sugar in it. It’s sweet to be sure, but not achingly so, like some caramel corns I’ve had in the past.

The cheddar, stained orange, of course, has the taste of a sharp, slightly salty grilled cheese in popcorn form.

The caramel one has 150 calories, 1 gram of saturated fat, and 55 milligrams of sodium per 1-ounce serving. The cheddar has 180 calories, 9 grams of saturated fat, and 330 milligrams of sodium for a 1-ounce portion.

The caramel one is made with butter, as well as vegetable shortening and corn syrup, while the cheddar one is flavored with actual cheddar cheese, cream and coconut oil, but also soybean oil, yellow #5 and #6. Some of those ingredients may be deal breakers for those who are very health conscious. Still, there’s no denying how hard it is to stop going back for handful after handful.
