The Ultimate Popcorn Co.: Choc' N' Pop - Rich, Dark Chocolate (Selfridges)


I found this dark chocolate coated popcorn in Selfridges. There were two varieties, with an offer attached - 'buy one get one free'. I picked up the milk chocolate version as my 'free' bag, and so expect to read about that soon. But for now, on with the dark chocolate variety.
To summarise my first bite... well, it wasn't good. I thought the strange taste might be the reason they were on special offer. The flavour contains a mix of salted popcorn and a splash of dark chocolate. Sweet chocolate and salt, that just did not seem right. I didn't like it at all. Then a few moments later I had this strange desire to try another piece, just to make sure. This time I was expecting the peculiar flavour, and it didn't seem nearly so bad. I decided to try another, then another, and at some point I changed my mind from hate to love. I don't think I have ever had my opinion change from one extreme to another so quickly! Oddly enough I am really looking forward to trying the Milk Chocolate version. If you do buy some of these and you find yourself not liking the first taste, give them a chance as they might just grow on you!
