    Since when is using an entire bag of caramels considered healthy? Sure, a serving is half a cup, but if you're making that big of a bowl, who's going to eat just a half cup?

    SERIOUSLY??????? A “Healthy” snack???? Where's the nutrition information on the SUGAR content?? Why waste a bag of carmels by putting it on popcorn? If your going to eat candy why not just eat it right out of the bag? The last time I checked, candy aka SUGAR is NOT a healthy snack!!!
