Sweet and Savoury: Gourmet Popcorn Pairings for Easter Brunch

Easter is just around the corner, and what better way to elevate your brunch experience than by incorporating gourmet popcorn into the mix? Here at Popcorn Shed we love doing things a bit differently, so we’re here to tell you that popcorn can really bring out an extra dimension of deliciousness to your Easter celebrations! Let us show you how…

Elevate Your Easter Brunch
Move over traditional brunch staples; it's time to make room for popcorn! The versatility of gourmet popcorn makes it an ideal addition to your Easter spread. Whether you're hosting a family gathering or an intimate brunch with friends, with our popcorn you are guaranteed to steal the show. From sweet to savoury or a bit of both, the choice of flavours is yours. Plus, it’s super easy to serve and can be bought in advance. No prep necessary!

Chocolate Delights

No Easter brunch is complete without some delicious chocolatey treats. That’s why this year, we are super duper excited to introduce our new Chocolate Popcorn Trio. Featuring a mix of our Salted Caramel & Milk Chocolate, Chocolate Caramel and White Chocolate Caramel popcorn flavours, it’s quite the game-changer, if we may say so ourselves. Each of the three flavours is made with our fresh, high quality caramel and topped with indulgent Belgian chocolate. They taste great on their own, but together? A truly heavenly treat that will satisfy every single one of your taste buds!

A Sweet, Fruity Symphony

For those who enjoy popcorn and all sorts of Easter treats, but also care about serving some healthy brunch options, why not try pairing some of your favourite Popcorn Shed popcorn flavours with a side of fresh fruits? The light, fluffy popcorn and richness of caramel complement the natural sweetness of fruit, creating a symphony of flavours that’ll leave you hopping and popping with joy, and will keep you going for hours.

Savoury Snack Bonanza
Give your Easter brunch a savoury twist with some of our more salty flavours. To balance out the sweetness of Easter chocolate and our yummy caramel popcorn flavours, why not create a little cheese board or charcuterie tray to serve your guests? Combine Popcorn Shed's cheese popcorn flavours (Say Cheese, Goat’s Cheese and Blue Cheese) with some of your favourite types of cheese, meats, good quality crackers and some spreads and dips to your liking. Easy, quick and oh so delicious. It’s finger food at its finest!

Recipe: Easter Bunny Crunch Clusters

Ingredients:

- 1 bag Popcorn Shed's Chocolate Popcorn Trio (80g)

- 1 bar of your favourite chocolate (100g)

- 50g mini chocolate beans (multicoloured)

- 50g mini marshmallows

- 50g chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds work well)

- 20g shredded coconut

Instructions:

In a large bowl, mix together the Chocolate Popcorn Trio, chocolate beans, marshmallows, nuts, and shredded coconut.
Melt the chocolate bar in the microwave or on the hob.
Pour the chocolate into the bowl with the other ingredients and gently toss the ingredients until well combined.
Using two spoons (or your hands), divide the mixture into small clusters. Place on a lined baking tray and let it harden completely. To speed up this process, you can put the tray in your fridge for around 30 minutes.
Place the clusters on a pretty plate or in a festive bowl and add it to your Easter brunch spread. All that’s left to do now, is watch as your guests indulge in these irresistible Easter Bunny Crunch Clusters!
