The 6 Best and 5 Worst Candies for Your Health

candy with the most calories

1. UnReal Milk Chocolate Gems

“I’m really impressed with these,” says Gorin. “The candy contains no artificial flavor or color, and the coloring comes from natural sources, like turmeric.”

Because these contain a fair amount of sugar, though, you’ll want to stick with the 1.3-ounce (oz) grab-and-go bags, which make the perfect single serving, says Kelly Kennedy, RDN, Everyday Health’s staff nutritionist.

What’s Inside 170 calories per package, 10g fat, 6g saturated fat, 22g carbohydrate, 18g sugar, 4g protein

4. Snickers

Surprised? Although Snickers is relatively higher in calories than other candy, Gorin recommends a “fun-size” bar because it’s more likely to leave you satisfied, thanks to containing some protein. “It also has less sugar than some other candies that are almost entirely pure sugar,” she says.

5. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

The satisfying combo of protein and a small amount of fiber makes this another good pick, says Gorin. Plus, around the holidays, it’s easy to find single cups (usually they come in a pack of two), so it’s easier to satisfy your sweet tooth in moderation.

6. Blow Pop

For the nonchocolate lovers, a Blow Pop can be a practical pick. “It has less sugar than many of the other candies out there, and because of the gum center, you can enjoy it for longer,” says Gorin.
