AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- SkinnyPop® Popcorn, anchor brand to Amplify Snack Brands, Inc. ("Amplify" or the "Company") (NYSE:BETR) and a pioneer in the better-for-you, ready-to-eat popcorn category, is extending its brand beliefs of simple, transparent ingredients and great taste to new categories. New SkinnyPop Popcorn Cakes, Popcorn Mini Cakes and Microwave Popcorn are rolling out nationwide this month, giving consumers new ways to enjoy their snack-time favorites.

"Amplify and our anchor brand, SkinnyPop Popcorn, are always looking for innovative ways to bring variety and delicious taste to better-for-you snacking categories," said Amplify Snack Brands President and Chief Executive Officer Tom Ennis. "We're excited to leverage SkinnyPop Popcorn's strong brand equity, quality, better-for-you product attributes and best-in-class brand loyalty to expand our family of brands. Retail partner and consumer response to these new products has been extremely positive and we are excited about their future potential as we continue to grow and innovate our SkinnyPop product portfolio."

Consumers can also now enjoy microwave popcorn the SkinnyPop way. New SkinnyPop Microwave Popcorn delivers delicious flavor in an innovative, chemical-free lined pop-up box that creates a unique, no-mess eating experience snackers can feel good about. Popping SkinnyPop Microwave Popcorn is almost as fun as eating it! Almost.

"These exciting product lines are natural extensions for a disruptive and beloved brand like SkinnyPop," said Ennis.

We're looking forward to sharing other innovations yet to come in 2017 and beyond."
