Halloween! It's the day when kids go trick or treating, and every office candy dish is filled with candy corn. Candy corn has a reputation for being one of the healthier candies, since it contains honey. But I wonder how many calories are in each handful (and I'm talking about nice big handful, about 22 pieces.) Care to guess?

How many calories are in a handful of candy corn?
100 calories124 (15.0%)
150 calories341 (41.1%)
200 calories180 (21.7%)
300 calories184 (22.2%)
The correct answer is 150 calories per 22 pieces. True, 150 calories is a nice size for a snack. So you don't need to look at that dish full of candy corn like it's evil. But just remember that each little handful of candy corn is another "snack". They can be addictive, and before you know what happened you may eaten half a bag. Just watch yourself.
