You’d peer inside your jack-o’-lantern - or if you were smart, your pillowcase - and rove over the chocolates, gummies, lollipops, and other treats you’d acquired, eyes aglow. Then, you’d eat one too many sugary sweets and wonder why you couldn’t fall asleep.

Now that you’re an adult, you can understand why you were having such a hard time shaking off those Halloween jitters - candy is loaded with sugar. Some also hide chemicals, artificial colorings, trans-fats, and ingredients that barely pass for food. Seriously, those plastic-like chews and gummies? Not natural.

There are a few candies, though, that you can feel a bit better about. They’re less processed, more nutritious, and contain less sugar than some of the other candies. Find out which kinds you’ll feel better eating here.
