Crunch 'n Munch Buttery Toffee and Fiddle Faddle Toffee flavored popcorn are two of the most popular popcorn snacks. I've enjoyed both brands in the past, but one stands out as the most flavorful and delicious. I will tell you all about that here.

Taste

Both have a delicious buttery Toffee taste. However, because Crunch 'n Munch Buttery Toffee has larger, fluffier popcorn, the toffee taste is not quite as strong throughout the product. Crunch 'n Munch appears to have fewer peanuts. For some people, that may be a good thing, but I prefer more peanuts blended throughout.

Fiddle Faddle is coated with a thicker topping of buttery toffee. With Fiddle Faddle's smaller popcorn pieces, the flavor is richer and more evenly dispensed throughout the product

Nutrition

These kinds of snacks aren't usually what one buys when looking for healthy food. For those of you interested in nutrition, here are nutritional aspects of both brands:

Monounsaturated fat--2g

Price

They are comparable in price (I find both between $1 and $1.50 per box)

Minor Drawbacks of both

In the summertime in humid climates, you need to be sure the bags of either Fiddle Faddle or Crunch and Munch are tightly closed because the popcorn can become stale and sticky quickly. Stale Fiddle Faddle is rarely a problem for me as I tend eat the entire box within 24 hours.
