Johannesburg-based Emilio’s Gourmet Popcorn is revolutionising the game by introducing puffed treats into our favourite desserts, including doughnuts, macarons and waffles. (It looks like Somerset West’s popcorn producer Guzzle & Wolf has got some competition!)

Exclusive to the Emilio’s store in Montecasino, Johannesburg, the Popcornology range offers fans the likes of the popular Popnut, a ring doughnut shape moulded out of cinnamon-caramel popcorn, dipped in Beyer’s Belgian chocolate, sprinkled with toppings and served with a scoop of ice cream, as well as freshly made Belgian waffles topped with ice cream, cream, Emilio’s caramel popcorn and a drizzle of chocolate or maple syrup.

If their sweet tooth is still not satisfied, they can take home a few Popparoons (almond macarons with honey popcorn and chocolate ganache) to enjoy as a guilty pleasure.

Emilio’s Gourmet Popcorn is available in a rage of 30 flavours, including the original Belgian chocolate duo, cinnamon-bun pecan, chilli chocolate, Cape koeksister, spiced honey, herbed cheddar, mature cheddar and even blue cheese and black pepper.
