"Healthiest" Candy

It's inevitable. We're all going to be eating candy this weekend. I'll be right there with you - but there are some "healthier" choices out there that might make you feel a little better about yourself. Remember, when it comes to candy, the best thing to do is portion control. If you see a friend in need with one too many Snickers' wrappers next them - please intervene!

"(Note: This list is based on macro-nutrient amounts. The lower choices have higher sugar and less calories, but the higher choices having more protein.)
