Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Buttered Popcorn Chocolate Chip Cookies Incorporate Movie Snacks

— April 6, 2013 — Lifestyle
Joy the Baker's Buttered Popcorn Chocolate Chip Cookies post brings snacks that are commonly left for theaters only into the kitchen. Heaps of the buttery popcorn provide the ultimate basis for this post, an ingredient that is one of Joy's admitted favorites.

Joy drew inspiration for this post from Smitten Kitchen. To produce the bites, a brown sugar batter was used, making for an exceptionally gooey base. Culinary staples such as sea salt, dark chocolate, milk and egg were then added, packed together within the chunky rounds. The entry points to the merger of crunchy and soft textures, not to mention sweet and salty flavors, giving way to a rather versatile snack that will appeal to many.
Trend Themes
1. Gourmet Snack Fusion - Opportunity for creating unique and unexpected combinations of flavors and textures in snack foods.
2. Cinematic-inspired Treats - Potential to develop and market products that bring the experience of movie snacks into other food formats.
3. Indulgent Homemade Sweets - Demand for decadent desserts that incorporate unconventional ingredients and surprise flavors.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - Innovation opportunities exist for snack manufacturers to explore new flavor combinations and concepts inspired by unconventional sources.
2. Culinary Arts - Chefs and bakers can experiment with unique recipes and techniques to create gourmet treats with familiar comfort food elements.
3. Confectionery - The confectionery industry can explore new product lines that cater to the demand for indulgent, boundary-pushing sweets.
