Since 2023, Popcorn Kitchen's Pop at Home range has delighted snackers with popcorn paired with everything from mini eggs and peanut butter buttons to jellybeans, and the all-new Peter Pigs offers a sweet take on a savory favorite—pigs in a blanket.

Packaged in an iconic bottle format, this snack shares 14 portions for movie nights, mid-day refueling, afterschool snacking, and other at-home snacking occasions, solo or with friends and family.
