All those miniature, bite-size, chocolatey morsels in brightly colored packages are so hard to resist. To prevent myself from eating half a bag of treats, I like to <a href="http://www.fitsugar.com/2390437" >wait to buy my candy</a> until the day before Halloween, and I also <a href="http://www.fitsugar.com/2356813" >give out candy I hate</a>. But when my girls come home with their trick-or-treat bags, a few pieces can't hurt, right? Unfortunately, all those little bites add up, so just to give you an idea, I've put together this breakdown.</p> <p>The calorie content in this chart is based on one piece of Halloween "snack" or "fun"-size candy, not the full-size servings found in the candy aisle. The good news is that on most bags of bulk candy, the serving size includes two to three pieces or packets of each, so there's nothing wrong with indulging in a few of your favorites.<br /> <br><br /> <center></p> <table border=1 id="space"> <tr bgcolor=#FFCCCC> <td>1 treat size (fun size)</td> <td>Calories</td> <td>Fat (g)</td> <td>Sugar (g)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Snickers</td> <td>71</td> <td>3.6</td> <td>7.6</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor=#FFFFCC> <td>Reese's Peanut Butter Cup</td> <td>88</td> <td>5.2</td> <td>8</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Reese's Caramel Cup</td> <td>100</td> <td>5</td> <td>11</td> </tr> <tr bgcolor=#CCFF99> <td>Reese's Nutrageous</td> <td>95</td> <td>5.5</td> <td>7.5</td> </tr> </tr> </table> <p></center> </td> </tr> </table> <p></center></p> <p>If you don't see the candy you crave, </p> <p><a href="http://www.fitsugar.com/2363844">read more</a></p> http://www.fitsugar.com/2363844#comment Breakdown Candy Food Halloween halloween candy breakdown hallowen survival guide Tue, 28 Oct 2008 03:00:19 -0700 FitSugar http://www.fitsugar.com/2363844 http://www.fitsugar.com/688165 <p>I have a love-hate relationship with Halloween. I love going pumpkin picking, making jack-o-lanterns, roasting pumpkin seeds, and creating costumes. Oh, who am I kidding? I also love the candy, the bags of tiny bite-sized servings are my weakness.
