    > You don't actually want 300 calories of refined flour.

    Personally I always want this.

      The only thing I want more than 300 calories of flour is 600 calories of flour.

    Yes, but if less is more imagine how much more more would be.

    A Reese’s peanut butter cup hack is peanut butter and chocolate chips in a cup. Eat it with a spoon.

    Cool idea.

    For the sake of being pedantic:

    > The whole bowl has fewer calories than two slices of garlic bread

    Really? Idk what the sizes are, but I looked up the weight of one of those micro wave popcorn packages, which usually fill the bowl we have at home. That seemed to be 100g, which is about ~350 kcal not including oil/butter. I'm getting about ~275 for 100g of bread, which is more than two slices. That's about 6 inches of baguette.

      Maybe your bowl is bigger than OPs?

      Those microwavable bags generally contain multiple servings.

    We make popcorn with https://www.kerrygoldusa.com/products/garlic-herb-butter/ and it's quite delicious, however, it doesn't quite hit the same as real garlic bread. The mouthfeel of the crispy toast is different than popcorn.

    I was shocked that my continuous glucose monitor showed a huge spike for popcorn without butter. Last time I had it.
