Instead of 340 calories, 12 grams of fat and 54 grams of sugar per serving, you get just 170 calories, 3 grams of fat and 27 grams of sugar…more
To make this even healthier, replace salt with sea salt. Also use raw sugar instead of the more widely used white sugar. Raw sugar will give it a slight hint of molasses taste.
Enjoy!!
