Of course Halloween is synonymous with candy.  Children look forward to this holiday so you don’t want to take candy completely out of the equation.  But after talking to nutritionists and dentists, here are the candies not to hand out and to take out of your child’s Halloween bag after trick-or-treating is over.

Snickers

This offender is filled with everything healthy eats shouldn’t have—nougat, caramel and, of course, chocolate. Chocolate is loaded with fat and calories and caramel is a serious source of tooth decay. It gets stuck in the crevices between teeth, which makes it impossible for saliva to wash it away.” The result? Cavities. If your child must indulge her sweet tooth, “go for chocolates with a non-dense, airy filling, such as 3 Musketeers.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins

The worst kinds of Halloween candies are the ones that are released especially for this time of year. These ‘pumpkins’ tend to have an extra 100 calories per serving and much more saturated fat. For instance, standard Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are 88 calories a piece, but one Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkin has 180 calories.

Candy Corn

Not surprisingly, candies masquerading as vegetables don’t offer as many health benefits. But this Halloween staple is particularly unhealthy because it’s nothing but sugar and artificial coloring and flavoring. With no protein or healthy fats to offer, you’d think the caloric intake is reasonable. Nope.  Candy corn has 150 calories per ounce, and it’s bad for teeth too.
