Here at the Chocolate Truffle, we never stop at just chocolate. We are all about those guilty pleasure snacks that combine luscious flavors and textures to bring a smile to your day! We especially love that salty sweet combo that our sea salt caramel popcorn delivers! Caramel corn has been around for quite some time, so let’s pop on back to the 1800s and see what happened!
Brothers Frederick and Louis Ruechkeim made the trek from Germany to America in 1873, finally settling down in Chicago. They began to sell their sticky sweet molasses covered popcorn with peanuts. It’s unclear whether it was from a street cart, a storefront, or at the Chicago World’s Fair where this delectable concoction took off, but either way, we’re happy about it!
Of course popcorn itself, and even sweet popcorn, wasn’t unheard of at that time. Kettle corn had been around for a while, and it has even been said that popcorn was eaten like cereal with milk and sugar!
We think we’ll just stick to caramel popcorn for now! Made here in our kitchens, our freshly popped gourmet popcorn is smothered in our signature homemade caramel, sprinkled with premium sea salt, and then drizzled with our highest-grade milk or dark chocolate. In order to ensure absolute freshness, our caramel popcorn is made in small batches throughout the year. We also make it gluten free! You can even choose one of our sweet and salty gift boxes fully equipped with gourmet malted milk balls, our crisp and buttery peanut brittle, salty and sweet milk chocolate covered pretzels and to round it all off our delicious gourmet sea salt caramel covered popcorn.
Grab some of our delicious caramel corn and sit down to a movie! It’s meant to be enjoyed, for every last bite to be savored! Stop on by today for yours!
