In October, we can’t wait to pick up those miniature candy bars to pass out to the neighbor ghosts and goblins (or, this year, Angry Birds!). Some of us may even sneak a few in beforehand to nibble on! This is just the start of all the additional calories that we will begin to encounter over the Holiday Season.

But here are the nutritional candy facts on some of the favorites so you can make smart choices:
