With the Oscars just around the corner, spending four hours staring at bombshell beauties in glamorous fitted evening gowns might feel slightly better while crunching on a skinny-mini snack.

Get ready for a fun Truffle and Parmesan popcorn ride

Truffle and parmesan popcorn is a light snack that doesn’t sacrifice taste whatsoever, and the truffle oil (although a splurge) creates an evening of affluent tastes…it’s the Oscars after all! In fact, this treat would go quite well with a fancy glass of bubbly.

And, when the hubby asks why you’ve fallen silent at the mere sight of Bradley Cooper, no need to lie, just shove a handful of that trufflicious treat into your mouth and your response will be incomprehensible!
