Lower-calorie Halloween candy

Halloween candy can come with a devilish caloric count. If you still want to hand out sweets, here are some suggestions.

¢ Skittles. Skittles come in a rainbow of flavors and contain just 2 grams of fat per serving.

¢ Tootsie Rolls. Tootsie Rolls have been a favorite treat since 1896. A great substitute for chocolate, one small piece has zero grams of fat.

¢ Jolly Ranchers. Jolly Ranchers are one of America’s favorite long-lasting hard candies. They are available in a variety of sugar-free flavors.

¢ Three Musketeers. If you have to have chocolate, Three Musketeers is a good choice. Three Musketeers has about 45 percent less fat than the other leading candy bars, according to its manufacturer.

¢ York Peppermint Patties. York Peppermint Patties have considerably fewer calories and less fat than most candy bars, too. One full-size patty has just 140 calories and only 2.5 grams of fat.
