What 100 Calories of Your Favorite Halloween Candy Actually Looks Like

Butterfinger

1 fun-size bar=100 calories
Butterfinger is the most decadent on our list of chocolate treats. Sure, you can have only one, but its buttery flakes get stuck to your teeth for a few minutes, making it hard to scarf down a bunch in one sitting anyway.

Just because you’re trying to lose weight doesn’t mean you need to avoid Halloween candy altogether. How sad would that be?! Nor does it mean you should opt for a kind you like less in order to save a few grams of sugar or fat. Instead, satisfy your inner trick-or-treater with 100-calorie portions of the candy you want most. Here’s a handy guide to what that looks like.

Snickers

1 1/3 fun-size bars=100 calories
Although you can’t avoid the unhealthy fats found in candy bars, the peanuts will not only replace some of the bad fats and calories but also supply you with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, says Karolina Starczak, R.D. “The best perk, of course, is that the mix of fat, protein, and fiber slows digestion, keeping your hand out of the candy bowl a little longer.”

Nestlé Crunch

1 1/2 fun-size bars=100 calories
Chocolate bars may have more fat than Skittles or Sour Patch Kids, but if you’re a chocoholic, Crunch bars are a not-so-bad way to get your cocoa-and-crunch fix.

Kit Kat

2 fingers =100 calories
Want to keep your diet in check? Here’s your cue to stash half of that full-size candy bar in your desk, or share a piece. The song does ask you to break someone else off a piece of that Kit Kat bar, after all.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

2 1/5 miniatures=100 calories
The full-size Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup has more than 100 calories, so you’ll likely feel more satisfied by two minis (we’re guessing you won’t bother carving out 1/5 of a miniature Reese’s cup). Plus, it will take you longer to unwrap them. More packaging always equals more time to think about if you really want another serving.

Twix

2 1/2 minis=100 calories
Good news: Twix has the least amount of sugar of all the Halloween candy we put to the test. It’s the only one with fewer than 10 grams per 100-calorie portion.
