Halloween Hack

With Halloween right around the corner, I figured it was a good time for a Halloween Hack! Whether we are handing out candy to Trick-or-Treaters or sitting at the office, candy is bound to be present over the next few weeks. Today, I'm going to rank it for you so that if you find yourself reaching for that chocolate bar you'll know what's the best and worst candy to choose from.

Keep in mind I'm not saying these are healthy snacks by any means. Let's start with the best and work our way down!

1. #1 Best Candy - Hot Tamales

2. #2 Jolly Ranchers

3. #3 Milky Way Minis

4. #4 Almond Joy & Mounds (Fun Size)

5. #5 Reese's Peanut Butter Cup (mini)

6. #6 Blow Pops

7. #7 Skittles (Fun Size)

8. #8 Sour Patch Kids (Treat Size)

9. #9 Twix (Fun Size)

10. #10 Snickers (Fun Size)

11. #11 Twizzlers (Individually wrapped pieces -1)

12. #12 Starbursts (Fun Size)

13. #13 Mike 'n Ike (Snack Size)

14. #14 Milk Chocolate & Peanut M&M's (Fun Size)

15. #15 One Hundred Grand (Fun Size)

16. #16 Butterfinger (Fun Size)

17. #17 Reese's Pieces (Fun Size)

18. #18 Worst Candy - Reese's Peanut Butter Cup (unwrapped miniatures pack)

I would not recommend any of these items on a daily basis, but if you find yourself eating candy or buying candy Hot Tamales are a much better choice than a package of Mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups that you can eat by the handful. If you can stay away from all Halloween candy this year that's obviously your best bet!
