Q: I always overbuy Halloween candy and scarf down the leftovers. What are the best and worst candy options? A: Short of giving out raisins or pencils, there are a few easy ways to avoid unwanted Halloween bloat. My advice:
- Stick with chocolate Two Tootsie Rolls or a pair of Hershey’s Kisses are each only 50 calories. But keep that cocoa pure. Avoid bars with nuts, peanut butter, or caramel—all of which pack in additional calories.
- Fruit flavors are goo Go for jelly beans or Skittles. Both are low cal—for candy. Starburst are another good option with just 20 calories per piece.
- Be a sucker The leanest bet of all is the one that actually lasts the longest: the Tootsie Pop. Unlike candies that you devour in seconds, lollipops have only 60 calories and stick around until you get bored and trash ’em.
