Alrighty, the best and the worst of Halloween ...

First, the "Tricks" or the bad stuff:

* Skittles, Tootsie Rolls and DOTS. These sticky candies linger in your mouth, increasing the levels of cavity-causing bacteria.
* Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. The peanut butter is filled with added sugar.
* Even worse: Snickers. Even the mini-bars have some of the highest calorie, carb and fat levels of any candy bar.
* Mounds Bars are tasty, but that coconut core is also loaded with calories and saturated fat.

Now for the "treats," the good Halloween candies:

* Peanut M&Ms. The nuts have protein, B vitamins, potassium and healthy fat.
* Candy corn. Most brands are made with honey - a disease-fighting antioxidant.
* A 3 Musketeers is the best bite-size candy bar, with one of the lowest calorie and fat counts.
* If you don't want all that Halloween candy to ruin your figure, reach for some Hershey's milk chocolate minis. They're high in calcium. In fact, four mini-bars provide 10% of your recommended daily intake of calcium!
