Vital Juice sends out a daily healthy living tip {which I love} via email. With Halloween candy flying everywhere in my house, this daily tip caught my eye!

That’s Fit recently took a walk down the candy aisle to investigate. While they don’t say any particular candy is healthy, there are definitely some choices that are better than others.

Tricks:

Baby Ruth (1 full-size bar) — 280 calories, 13g fat
Butterfinger (1 full-size bar) — 270 calories, 11g fat
Milky Way (1 full-size bar) — 260 calories, 10g fat
