Popcorn Snack Bars

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Popcorn Bars Offer a Satisfying, Mess-Free Eating Experience

— January 24, 2019 — Lifestyle
Popcorn is typically packaged and eaten by the bucket or bag but AST Popcorn is introducing a new way for consumers to snack on this favorite treat with its all-new Popcorn Bars. These low-calorie snack bars are gluten-free and boast no added fat or preservatives, yet offer a decadent eating experience that reminds of a chocolate bar thanks to the product's indulgent cocoa glaze.

At the center of the bars is caramelized popcorn, which is popped without any oil, and offered in flavors like blueberry and butter.

Due to its light and airy nature, popcorn tends to be perceived as a healthy snack and the portability of these bars only add to the value of the product as a permissible indulgence.
