"You&amp;#x27;ve probably read all the articles out there that enthusiastically say to eat dried fruit instead of Halloween candy. And if you can chow down raisins instead of Raisinets and feel perfectly satisfied during this supersized sweet-tooth holiday, you are my healthy-eating hero. But for the rest of us who just want a nostalgic taste of childhood (or, OK, an excuse to have a treat), here are a few Halloween-bag candies that aren&amp;#x27;t horrible when it comes to your health. Hershey&amp;#x27;s Special Dark: Studies show that dark chocolate is better for you than milk chocolate, because it&amp;#x27;s got lots of heart-healthy antioxidants. Reese&amp;#x27;s Peanut Butter Cups: OK, lots of sugar, lots of fat. But! These peanut-buttery cups are made with non-hydrogenated oil, which is better for you than the oils in a lot of candies because it doesn&amp;#x27;t contain dangerous trans-fats. Keep your serving size small--just a few of the mini cups. I love popping a few in the freezer--they&amp;#x27;re super-tasty, and take longer to eat so I don&amp;#x27;t eat the whole bag. Junior Mints or Peppermint Patties: These mint-filled chocolates are lower in fat than many other cocoa-based treats, getting only 25 percent of their calories from fat. Almond M&amp;amp;Ms: No trans-fats, plus almonds contain omega fatty acids, which are important in cell health. Jolly Ranchers: Sure, there&amp;#x27;s plenty of sugar in the hard little candies, but they take a long time to eat, meaning you&amp;#x27;ll eat fewer pieces overall. Remember, none of these suckers can be considered health foods, so don&amp;#x27;t go candy crazy. And if you feel like going overboard, think back to that horrible tummy-ache you had when you were seven and you ate half your Halloween bag. Urp.
