The Butterkist Caramelised Biscuit Flavour toffee popcorn has been announced by KP Snacks as a delicious new version of the brand's signature snack that focuses on a familiar flavor experience.
The snack starts off with premium popcorn covered in toffee with a caramelized biscuit flavor that gives it something of a dessert-inspired flavor experience. This responds to the changing demands amongst consumers for snacks with a dessert-like flavor for a new kind of taste and texture experience. The product is making its way to Co-op locations starting July 22, 2024 before heading to Sainsbury's and Asda.
Marketing Manager Jenny Blanco Bancia spoke on the Butterkist Caramelised Biscuit Flavour toffee popcorn saying, "We are excited to add an exciting and delicious flavour to the Butterkist portfolio. Our new flavour capitalises on the growth of Big Night In and offers customers a fun and tasty new flavour to enjoy during their sharing occasions.
