The first time I tasted a Peterbrooke item was in 1989 at the San Marco store. It was a free sample of the chocolate covered popcorn, which may have only been offered in milk chocolate at the time. And I think the popcorn originally came from the little movie theatre next door... It was love at first bite and started my obsession with all things Peterbrooke for over the 12 years I was a resident of Jacksonville. When I moved away, I was really missing Peterbrooke's special way with chocolate, so when they started to offer shipping, I was quick to make my first order. As I live further south now, I am also glad to see more stores opening in driving distance :). So this dark chocolate covered popcorn is my staple order or store pickup still and is still the best of the best - even when compared to other chocolatiers' products worldwide I have been privileged to try. The chocolate is smooth, melts in your mouth, dark, rich, and just luscious, and marries perfectly with the salty crunchy-still popcorn it covers. There is just enough chocolate and popcorn to make each bite perfectly wonderful all these years later.
