Popcorn fans now have a new better-for-you option: Jolly Time Butter and Butter Light Microwave Pop Corn from The American Pop Corn Co. is made with the patented Smart Balance blend of oils.

Smart Balance delivers the melted buttery goodness consumers expect from Jolly Time but with zero grams of trans fat and no hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils. Independent, online research found that consumers trust the Smart Balance name, and nine out of 10 consumers said they would buy new Jolly Time Microwave Pop Corn made with the Smart Balance blend.

The Smart Balance blend, licensed exclusively in the category for use in Jolly Time products, contains a unique blend of polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and saturated fats. When used as part of the Smart Balance Food Plan -- which recommends a diet with no more than 30 percent of calories from total fat, no more than 10 percent of calories from other fat and low levels of cholesterol -- this blend of fats can support healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range.

The product retails in three-pack boxes with a suggested price of $2.69. Individual trial bags are available for 50 cents.
