Halloween sure is a scary holiday – and not just because of the ghosts and goblins seen traipsing around your neighborhood. It’s a scary holiday because of the terrifying treats we hand out to all the children.

Now I know what you are thinking – it’s only one day, candy is not so bad, or they deserve it after all that walking.

While that is true to an extent – hey, we all like to indulge a little – it is more important to remember that you will have leftover candy hanging around your house WAY past the freaky festivities.

So we went to the experts. What IS the best choice for Halloween candy?
