BOO!

Did I scare you?

Well, if not, I might scare you with the caloric information I'm about to share.  Just a little tidbit of information as the weeks of "Candy Craziness" starts.  Hopefully, this will help you make wise choices and not be scared of the scale come next week. ;-)

With the help of a random poll of some random people, here are the favorites I have gathered:

  

Candy Corn- Brach's - 11 pieces - 70 calories 

Mellowcreme Pumpkins -Brach's- 6 pieces- 150 calories

Caramel Apple - 300 Calories

Snickers Bars, Fun size (17 g) - 80 calories  

Laffy Taffy - two mini's (any flavor): 64 calories

Wonka Nerds - small box (13 g) - 50 calories

Tootsie Pops - 60 calories 

Skittles - Original Fruit, Fun size (20 g) - 80 calories 

Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bars - Fun size (14 g) - 67 calories

Dove Milk Chocolate Promises or wrapped squares (8 g) - 42 calories

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (because they are one of my weaknesses, they get their own category)
Miniature (about 9 grams each) - 44 calories
Snack size (17 g) - 88 calories
Snack size (21 g) - 100 calories

Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkins (34 g) - 180 calories

To give you a better idea of how to "work out" these calories- you burn approximately 100 calories walking briskly for one mile.  Definitely something to think about before taking that first bite... "Is this piece of candy worth one mile after I eat it??"
