With Halloween coming up, give some thought as to what you hand out to all the little ghosts and goblins that come to your door on October 31.
If you're set on shelling out something sweet, here's the caloric info:
• Fun/snack size Snickers - 72 calories
• Fun/snack size Baby Ruth - 85 calories
• Fun/snack size M&Ms - 90 calories
• Fun/snack size Butterfinger - 100 calories
Eat one of each (approx. 350 calories total), and a person would need to walk briskly for over an hour and a half to burn them off!
The Cooper Institute of Dallas, Texas suggests some Zero Calorie handout options:
• Plastic insects, ghosts, skeletons
• Halloween-themed pencils/pens
• Temporary tattoos or animal stickers
• Halloween bracelets or rings
• Bouncy balls, bubbles or whistles
• Plastic vampire teeth/fangs
• Sugar-free gum
