All Halloween candies are guilty pleasures, right?
Not so fast, my costumed friend!
NBC News asked nutritionists to rank some of our Halloween favorite from best to worst based on things like calories and sugar grams, whether there’s any protein or fiber to help keep you full and how long they take to eat.
What’s the best?
Gummy worms!
One serving of eight gummy worms comes in at 100 calories and 14 grams of sugar and because they’re chewy, you can eat them more slowly (or at least try to).
Reese’s Peanut Butter cups rank just below that, surprisingly.
The worst?
Candy corn.
One serving of candy corn (19 pieces) contains 140 calories and 28 grams of sugar…and since they’re not individually-wrapped like some of the other options, it can be hard to stop at one serving.
