WHAT: Hershey's Popcorn

STATS: A serving (1 cup) of the Sea Salt flavor contains 120 calories and 3 fat, 22 carbohydrate, zero fiber, 17 sugar and 1 protein grams. We bought it at Walmart, 700 Bowman Road, Little Rock. Visit hersheys.com.

THE SKINNY: During a recent trip down the snack aisle, Hershey's Popcorn popped out to us.

Based on the description ("lightly coated caramel popcorn with Hershey's cocoa" and flavored drizzle) we had to try the Milk Chocolate and Sea Salt Caramel varieties. We found both flavors — but particularly the chocolate — irresistibly crunchy, sweet and salty; it's the kind of snack you want keep on hand during the holidays and serve in festive bowls when company comes.

Or perhaps keep hidden to eat all by yourself right out of the bag once everyone goes away.

That the bag only contains 6 mere ounces of popcorn is probably a good thing, as we wouldn't want it causing the buttons on our Christmas finery to pop off.
