Counting candy calories at HalloweenPosted Oct 31st 2007 7:01PM by Sarah J. GimFiled under: Chocolate, Candy, Sugar, HalloweenI hate to be the one to do it to you, especially after trying to pawn off organic gummy bears and Fruit Roll-ups on you as "candy," but someone has to do it. Someone is going to remind you how many calories are in that Snickers bar you just swiped from your kid for yourself, and it may as well be me.Website A Calorie Counter has a fairly decent table of calorie counts for some of the more popular chocolate and candy bars. It's a side-by-side comparison to see how they all stack up against each other in terms of their nutritional content and ingredients like saturated fat , sugar, and trans fat. The funny thing is, most of the bars within a certain category flutter about the same calorie count. For example, most chocolate bars are about 200 calories, so you really aren't saving much by choosing a Nestle 100 Grand Bar at 180 calories over a Heath Bar, which is 210. You're better off going to a completely different category like hard and powder candies, but to really save calories, you know that the best thing to do is not eat it.
