Find Out About KFC's New Edible Cups

The chicken chain partners with food scientists to develop 'Scoff-ee Cups'.

KFC has developed a unique range of 100% edible coffee cups to celebrate the launch of the new Seattle's Best Coffee range in its restaurants across the UK.

The 'Scoff-ee Cup' has been made from a biscuit, wrapped in sugar paper and lined with a layer of heat-resistant white chocolate, which keeps the coffee hot and the cup crispy. Over time, the chocolate lining will begin to melt, slowly softening the biscuit to reveal the tasty snack.

Created in partnership with renowned food scientists, The Robin Collective, the sweet treats also have an added benefit of being infused with a selection of subtle scents that complement the coffee experience and are known to improve moods.

Speaking of the development Jocelyn Bynoe at KFC said: “We have been experimenting with edible packaging to see if it could be a feasible product to bring to market in limited quantities and thought that if our customers occasionally like to have their cake and eat it, why wouldn’t they want have their cup and eat it instead!”

Sadly though, the Scoff-ee Cup is currently still under development and not yet available for customers in store.
