Popcorn Kitchen makes a move into top-grade confectionery

Popcorn Kitchen makes a move into top-grade confectionery

October 23 sees the launch of Popcorn Kitchen’s most ambitious new range launch yet – namely the creation of a giant 750g Salted Caramel chocolate bar and 3 x decadent 100g offerings including White Chocolate and Raspberry, Chocolate Orange and Salted Caramel.

Popcorn Kitchen is a bustling, small-batch popcorn provider that has enjoyed meteoric growth over the last 12-18 months largely on account of its single-minded mission to showcase popcorn’s more avant-garde aspirations, initially with its pioneering “home-poppin” kits and now with its 4-strong confectionery collection.

According to Popcorn Kitchen owner, Louise Webb, “The unprecedented success of our home poppin kits highlighted the alluring appeal of Belgian chocolate and best-in-class popcorn working side-by-side as luxurious bedfellows. The indulgent make-up of our popcorn (best ingredients, involving flavour marriages….) means that its well-suited to make a seamless transition to top drawer confectionery hero.”

In the past popcorn-themed chocolate bar unions have been thwarted by a penny-pinching commitment to low-grade chocolate, cloying sweetness and worst of all soggy popcorn with zero crunch. Popcorn Kitchen avoids these historical hinderances with three sublime sweet treats sensations that will make any aspiring gifting or confectionery fixture burst with pride.

  • 3 x 100g bars £4.99
  • Giant 750g bar £24.99
