The WeightWatchers guide to Halloween candy

Who hasn't dipped into our kids’ Halloween bags after bedtime—including that supply set aside to “donate?” Or, bought five too many bags of clearance candy the day after? Whether you have one treat or many, many, (many!) treats this Halloween, knowledge is your best ally. It can help you make smart candy decisions before eating a full-size candy bar only to learn it used up more than a third of your daily Points Budget.

When the kids dump out 10 pounds of post-trick-or-treat candy on your kitchen table—plusthree different sizesof Snickers—we’ve got your back when it comes to making smart decisions that won’t derail you.

If you’re looking for just a taste,a mini 3 Musketeers or a single Hershey’s Kiss are your best bets at just 2 and 1 Points each, respectively. Can’t decide between Fun Size and mini? Smaller usually seems better, but for 1 extra Point you could have a Nestlé’s Crunch Fun Size bar for 4 Points—whereas a mini is 3 Points. When you know you won’t be satisfied with anything less than full size, tear open a York Peppermint Pattie, at 9 Points values per one 1.4 oz pattie.
