These tiny Kit Kats clock in at 170 calories and 17 grams of sugar for four pieces. вЂњI like chocolate candies more, especially if they come in small packages,вЂќ says Rizzo. вЂњInstead of looking at it as, вЂI can only have one,вЂ™ view that one piece as a treat.вЂќ Kit Kat Minis вЂњRe-think how you approach candy,вЂќ says Cassetty.

The Best - and Worst - of the Rest (in That Order) вЂњIt takes a while to eat, so youвЂ™re satisfying that craving for sweet over a period of time,вЂќ says Rizzo. The low calorie count and the fact that sucking on one will occupy you for a while make this choice another acceptable treat. Nutritionist Pick #3: Charms Blow PopДЄlthough this lollipop with gum in the center has 13 grams of sugar, itвЂ™s only 70 calories. вЂњThe protein and fiber will help keep you fuller longer,вЂќ she says. Despite the sugar content, itвЂ™s still a top choice given that itвЂ™s individually wrapped and does have some protein (two grams) and fiber (one gram), says Gorin. (And remember: The longer you take to finish a piece of candy, the more satisfied youвЂ™ll feel.) Nutritionist Pick #2: Snack-Size ReeseвЂ™s Peanut Butter CupsДЄ single peanut butter cup has 110 calories and 11 grams of sugar. вЂњI know that thereвЂ™s a bunch of artificial junk in there and things you donвЂ™t want to be doing everyday, but theyвЂ™re chewy, so you can eat them slowly,вЂќ says Cassetty. If you eat three of them, youвЂ™re taking in just north of five grams of sugar.

Cassetty points out that due to their flavor and texture, oftentimes a smaller amount of gummies goes a long way - so you may not find the need to polish off eight worms. One serving - eight pieces - of these brightly colored gummy worms comes in at 100 calories and 14 grams of sugar. (To keep things in perspective, the American Heart Association recommends limiting added sugar intake to 37 grams for men and 25 for women per day.)
