For more than three decades, White Castle has been transforming its restaurants into Love Castles on Valentine's Day and this year, for those who can't secure a reservation, drive or otherwise make it into a physical location, White Castle is introducing the all-new White Castle Love Kit for at-home enjoyment.
Recognizing that the demand for in-person dining at White Castle on Valentine's Day exceeds its capacity, White Castle put together a holiday-themed meal kit that helps fans recreate the experience at home. Each White Castle Love Kit includes a dozen sliders—four Original Sliders, four Classic Cheese Sliders and four Jalapeño Cheese Sliders—plus pickles for topping, themed slider boxes for serving, a White Castle scented candle and a collection of shareable "Craventine" cards. The kit also includes preparation instructions so that diners can recreate the signature steamed taste of Sliders purchased in a White Castle restaurant.
