I love Pixy Sticks because I think they are safe to enjoy for dieters . There are only 60 calories in a pixy stick (7 straws) which is guilt free and lovely to enjoy . I used to love snickers but I haven't eaten them for more than 2 years. It's just so rich in calories that I have to stay away from it

Thanks beni, glad you like it!

@kathy: Thanks for giving us more info on the pixy sticks . I was a fan of snickers and baby ruth once too but I had to look for a healthier and lower calorie alternative like toblerone dark chocolate which only has 125 calories per serving while a serving of snickers has 271 calories which is a big difference. Dark chocolates are still as delicious

Default Best and Worst Trick or Treat Candies
Halloween is almost there and surely many of the kids and the kids at heart are excited about this day. Do you know that candy is one of the top 3 Halloween expense? However, there are best and worst candies for trick or treat candies so read on and know which candies will hurt your diet:

The best
1. Jolly Ranchers: Three of these hard candies have 70 calories, no fat and 11 grams of sugar. It's hard to do much better than that.
2. Blow Pops: This 18-gram candy-gum combo has 60 calories, no fat and 13 grams of sugar.
3. Gobstoppers: Nine pieces of this everlasting treat have 60 calories, no fat and 14 grams of sugar.
4. Pixy Stix: There are 60 calories, 0 grams of fat and 15 grams of sugar in seven straws of this fruit-flavored candy.
5. Candy corn: Nineteen pieces of this ultimate Halloween candy has 140 calories, no fat and 32 grams of sugar.

The worst
1. Mr. Goodbar: A 49-gram Mr. Goodbar will cost you 250 calories, 17 grams of fat (including seven grams of saturated fat) and 23 grams of sugar.
2. NutRageous: Another nutty candy, a 51-gram NutRageous bar, will run you 260 calories, 16 grams of fat (including five grams of saturated fat) and 22 grams of sugar.
3. Snickers: Maybe a Snickers bar really should be a meal on its own. A 59-gram bar has 280 calories, 14 grams of fat — (including five grams of saturated fat) and 30 grams of sugar.
4. Baby Ruth: A 60-gram bar has 280 calories, 14 grams of fat (including 8 grams of saturated fat). It also has 33 grams of sugar, the second-highest sugar total among the candies examined, better only than a 60-gram 3 Musketeers candy bar that has 40 grams of sugar (though a 3 Musketeers bar has only eight grams of total fat).
5. Mounds: The only candy on our "Worst 5" list to not have peanuts, a 49-gram bar of this coconut treat has 230 calories, 13 grams of fat and 21 grams of sugar. It also has 10 grams of saturated fat, the most of any of the 37 surveyed candies.

All sweets have sugars but it's best to enjoy those that are low-fat or even fat free. It's also best to give out healthy sweets to the kids. Happy Halloween everyone!
