The exciting new snack is made with toffee popcorn coated in crunchy cookies and cream pieces – and it's already got people talking.
One eagle-eyed shopper posted a photo of the bag online, sending fans into a frenzy.
One user commented: 'I need to taste it,' while another said: 'Looks delicious.'
Others were quick to tag their mates, urging them to keep a lookout in their local store.
The new popcorn flavour follows Butterkist's announcement last month that it would be launching a fresh product to coincide with summer movie nights.
The brand confirmed that the Crunchy Cookies & Cream variety would be rolling out to stores from early July.
Butterkist's Senior Brand Manager, Rachel Rayner, said at the time: 'At Butterkist, we are always looking for ways to delight our customers with new and exciting flavours.
So, we are thrilled to announce our latest addition of Crunchy Cookies & Cream Popcorn!
The perfect sweet treat, we can't wait for our customers to taste this delicious new flavour and make it a part of every special occasion, whether that's a family movie night or an afternoon pick-me-up.'
I tried crazy food mash-ups like tuna/Marmite & popcorn & chilli sauce… a mad combo tasted vile – so would you try them?
True to their word, shoppers have now found the snack stocked at Morrisons, both in store and online.
A 155g bag is listed on the Morrisons website, retailing for £2.
The product is expected to appear in other major supermarkets including Sainsbury's, Asda, and Co-op over the coming weeks, so fans across the UK should keep their eyes peeled.
The sweet treat has arrived just in time for summer, as many look for fun, new snacks to enjoy during picnics, holidays, and cosy nights in. Judging by the reaction online, this new flavour could be a big hit.
It's not the only seasonal trend grabbing shoppers' attention either.
TK Maxx has already started rolling out Halloween items, with tea towels, blankets, and cushions spotted in stores as early as July.
One shopper in Doncaster said: 'It's starting,' while others said they'd seen spooky stock popping up in Preston and Oldham.
How to save money on chocolate
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs...
Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars.
Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger

Gary Lineker reveals awkward interaction with Anthony Joshua at Wimbledon that left him very uncomfortable

And it left the former Match of the Day host feeling very uncomfortable.

The pair saw Taylor Fritz and Carlos Alcaraz win before Emma Raducanu's blockbuster match with Aryna Sabalenka under the Centre Court roof. But Lineker hilariously admitted it was not the most enjoyable day alongside the dapper 6ft 7ins ex-heavyweight world champion boxer, 35. That is because the former England striker was suffering from painful cramp. Lineker told his Rest Is Football podcast with Micah Richards and Alan Shearer: "I went to Wimbledon the other day. I just want to thank Wimbledon for inviting me, it was lovely. I took my youngest, Angus. "We sat next to Anthony Joshua and Eddie Hearn and we had a laugh watching some great tennis." Richards chipped in: "Can I just say, you were looking marvellous." And Shearer joked: "Micah, he was looking marvellous until you looked to his left and saw Anthony Joshua."

He said: "I was sitting in the seats next to Anthony, and he's obviously huge. Emma Raducanu jokes 'I wouldn't know about heartbreak' after Olivia Rodrigo watches her Wimbledon win "His legs… and the only way he sits, because there wasn't enough room, was he had his legs wide open. "And I was forced, for like seven hours, whatever it was, to put my legs to the… it got to the stage where I was getting cramp in my inside thigh so badly. "And the game was going on and I wanted to shout. "But I never had the balls, at any point, to tell him, 'Will you f***ing move your legs over a little bit, give me some room?' 4 Wimbledon 2025 LIVE - follow all the latest scores and updates from a thrilling fortnight at SW19 "Absolutely true. But he's a lovely, lovely guy and I had a laugh with him. And they were great company for the afternoon."

But he left the broadcaster at the end of the 2024-25 season after a fallout with Beeb bosses.

Brit reveals how to find the ‘world's cheapest pint' while in Spain for just 43p
And the bar they are sold in often gives away free drinks CHEAP BOOZER Brit reveals how to find the 'world's cheapest pint' while in Spain for just 43p Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BRIT claims to have found the 'world's cheapest pint' - which costs less than a bar of chocolate. Costing just 43p, Louis Grier, who lives in Benidorm, Spain, believes it is the cheapest pint on the globe. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 A Brit has found the 'world's cheapest pint' costing less than a bar of chocolate Credit: Jam Press/@thebenidormfanatic 3 4 JKS in Benidorm, Spain, serves up pints of Estrella Damm for just 50 cents Credit: Jam Press/@thebenidormfanatic The 32-year-old revealed how to find a pint of Estrella Damm for just 50 cents (around 43p). The spot called 4 JKS - also known as 4 JAKS - only opened back in Spain in June and regularly gives away free drinks to punters. In a TikTok, Louis said that he came up with the idea himself, along with the bar's owners - Brett and Andrea. The offering is all inspired by the stock exchange. Also in the video, owner Brett explained to viewers that despite the low price tag, it isn't actually a "cheap beer" nor does it come from 'expired' barrels. Instead, Brett made a deal with the beer brand for a four-day-a-week promotion when the cheap 43p pint is served. Louis added that the pint has already become "a local legend" and that he has even popped behind the bar to serve the tipple himself. "People are coming from everywhere to meet up and try it with me," he told What's The Jam. "They're calling it the 'Fanatic Pint'. It's the cheapest in Spain, maybe even the world." And since launching, many travellers reportedly "queue for the opportunity" to get themselves a pint from Louis, who dubs himself as a "Benidorm fanatic". I nabbed a bargain Benidorm penthouse suite with stunning views for just £17-a-head - but it came with a catch Louis stated: "It's not just about the pint; it's about the people, the laughter, and keeping Benidorm fun and affordable. The owners of the bar, Brett and Andrea, continued: "It's about bringing people together and giving people in Benidorm what they want. "We're not pursuing five-star reviews. We are here for good times, reasonable prices, and a bit of madness. "That is what Benidorm is all about." Benidorm is known for usually being a cheap destination - with another youngster, who moved to the popular destination from the UK, also claiming meals "don't break the bank". And another couple recently shared how they left the UK to live in a £2.5k caravan in Benidorm.

I explored London's hidden island that's only open twice a year – it felt like a Californian escape
And tickets to visit are free TREASURE ISLAND I explored London's hidden island that's only open twice a year – it felt like a Californian escape Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HIDDEN away from a bustling town centre in Zone 4 of London, I discovered an urban oasis that felt more like California than the UK. Eel Pie Island, located in Twickenham, has an illustrious history. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 Eel Pie Island, located in Twickenham, has an illustrious history Credit: 8 In the 19th century, it became a popular resort with steamboats and the Eel Pie Island Hotel Credit: Cyann Fielding 8 Today, the island still boasts marks of its past, while the people who live there include a number of artists Credit: Alamy While many know the destination for hosting a number of live music events (with notable names such as The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd), the island actually has a further stretching history. Originally, the tranquil spot was thought to be a monastic site before later transforming into a popular day-tripper spot. Then, in the 19th century, it became a popular resort with steamboats and the Eel Pie Island Hotel. When the hotel later closed in 1967, the island became a hippie commune and evolved as a creative community. Today, the island still boasts marks of its past, while the people who live there include a number of artists. It's one of London's best-kept secrets as it is only open to the public twice a year. And this past weekend I wandered over the footbridge that separates the island from the mainland, to explore the jungle on the island. Full of giant palm leaves looming overhead, the island doesn't take too long to explore and can be done in just an hour. And standing at the entrance way to the island, I felt like I was exploring Little Venice in Los Angeles. To get to the artists' workshops, I followed a meandering path taking me past wood-panelled homes - many decorated with enamel signs, American-style mailboxes and odd treasures. 'I tried out the Race Across the World Experience in London' The names of places also fitted the Californian vibe with names including 'Palm Beach', 'Copper Beach' and 'Love Shack'. Reaching the end of the path is an operational boatyard like felt something out of a movie. On the other side of the slipway is where you'll find the workshops of the island's 26 artists, selling a range of art, sculptures and ceramics. The workshops are all found nestled in the thick greenery and are surrounded by random abandoned items like water fountains and traffic cones. Whilst essentially a junk yard, the eclectic items mixed with the jungle felt more like a set from Pirates of the Caribbean. 8 Full of giant palm leaves looming overhead, the island doesn't take too long to explore and can be done in just an hour Credit: Instagram/@secretlondon 8 There are many wood-panelled homes on the island - many decorated with enamel signs, American-style mailboxes and odd treasures Credit: Alamy 8 The island is home to 26 artists, selling a range of art, sculptures and ceramics Credit: Cyann Fielding It is worth noting, however, that all the workshops are rather snug and may require some shuffling around other people to see all the items available for purchase. On the plus side, though, some of the workshops sell handmade tipples too, like Pimms, for just a fiver. You can explore the island and workshops for as long as you like on the day you have a ticket for, but everything can be visited in just an hour if you wish. Tickets to visit the island are also free. It takes less than 25 minutes to reach Twickenham via train from London Waterloo, and then Eel Pie Island is roughly a 10-minute walk from the station. After exploring the island, you can venture back to Twickenham high street, which boasts a number of independent shops and vibrant pubs. There is also a hidden island in the English Channel that had an exotic climate and some of the best sunsets in Europe. Plus, the 'secret' UK island surrounded by the country's deadliest footpath. 8 To me, it felt like wondering around Little Venice in Los Angeles (pictured) Credit: Alamy
