As Halloween is coming next week, we felt compelled to share Business Insider's article about the healthiest and unhealthiest Halloween candy out there. As you are stocking up on candy for your family, self, or to hand out to trick or treaters, keep in mind that it's ok to eat candy or treats, but to just remember that moderation is the key. Use it as a treat to reward yourself after working hard. Don't sit in front of the TV with a jumbo Halloween sized bag of it and mindless eat handfuls. Remember to be smart about your consumption! Happy Halloween!
Halloween is almost upon us.
With that in mind, we recently visited the nearest grocery store and took a quick survey of their Halloween candy aisle. In total, we looked at 45 candies and accounted for their calories, fat, sugar, and protein content. Candies lower in sugar, fat, and calories and higher in protein got ranked more positively than candies higher in sugar, fat, and calories and lower in protein.
And while no candy is obviously nutritious, these are the ones you're better off eating — or avoiding.
Here are the 10 that reign supreme as the "healthiest" of the season.
