Halloween is approaching. All of the spooky decorations, fun pumpkin patches, and creative costumes are in full effect! We are in for a real treat this year! Speaking of treats… how does your favorite Halloween candy treat stack up against the rest?
Below is a list of popular “fun-size” Halloween candy nutrition:
Candy | Calories | Fat grams |
Butterfinger | 83 | 4 |
Reese’s PB Cup | 110 | 4.5 |
Twix | 120 | 3 |
Raisinet’s | 63 | 2.4 |
Skittles | 80 | .8 |
Candy-Corn | 50 | 0 |
Starburst | 60 | .8 |
Warning: Despite low fat grams and calories, these treats are loaded with sugar!
Despite the low calorie count on these small treats remember how quickly the calories will add up. To avoid tempting yourself, avoid candy in your house all together. Rather than passing out candy to your trick-or-treaters maybe try healthier options instead. (I promise the kids will not T.P. (toilet paper) your home later as payback, these ideas are AWESOME!).
