I Want Candy

By Heather Cabot, The Well Mom

I love chocolate.  Most days of the year, I can keep my cravings in check. I believe wholeheartedly in moderation - not deprivation.  But, Halloween, truly one of my most favorite holidays, really tests my resolve.  It's so easy to go overboard when there are so many tempting treats around.  So of course, I just had to reach out to Hungry Girl Lisa Lillien for her take on the season's sweets.  Here are Hungry Girl's picks for candies that are not "too frightening when it comes to calories and fat."

Twizzlers, individually wrapped - 40 calories, 0.25g fat

Caramel Apple Pops - 60 calories, 0.5g fat

Smarties - 25 calories, 0g fat (per roll)

Dum Dum Pops - 25 calories, 0g fat

Mini AirHeads - 45 calories, 0.5g fat


Blow Pops - 60 calories, 0g fat

Hungry Girl says it's probably not a good idea to keep bulk amounts of chocolate in the house.  But, "if you ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY insist on giving it out," here's what she recommends:

Milky Way Minis - 38 calories, 1.4g fat (per Mini, NOT Fun Size!)

3 Musketeers Minis - 24 calories, 0.7g fat (again, per MINI!)

Tootsie Roll Midgees - 23 calories, 0.5g fat
