Almond Joy
It may seem like this treat would be one of the better choices to choose from when it comes to picking candy due to two of it’s ingredients, coconut and almonds, being listed as popular health foods, but this candy bar is quite the opposite. Almond Joy’s snack size candy bar contains 80 calories, eight grams of sugar, and three grams of saturated fat. Not a joy to eat too many of these in one setting.
Dark Chocolate Mounds
It’s true that dark chocolate does have compounds that offer health benefits and can be enjoyed on a daily basis depending on the portion size, however, this candy doesn’t make the cut. The snack size version of this candy bar has 80 calories, 7 grams of sugar, and 3.5 grams of fat. You’ll definitely feel the guilt of eating this dark chocolate a few times.
Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers
These colorful and fruity-flavored candies may seem small in your hand but that pack a pretty large amount of calories for its size. One serving, which consists of eight pieces, has 100 calories and 14 grams of sugar. While it’s true, the more colorful your palette is, the healthier you possibly could be, it’s definitely not the truth in this case.
Twix Caramel Cookie Bar Minis
Consuming only three of these bite-size crunchy candies means you’re eating 150 calories and 15 grams of sugar. They may be small, but they are big in amounts of calories and sugar.
All Halloween candy contains sugars and calories. Even though you may not have seen your favorite candy on the list, indulging in a few pieces should be fine but be mindful of how much candy you choose to indulge in this season.
