Best and Worst Easter Candies Ranked By Nutritional Value
Okay, first of all, who ranks candy by it's nutritional value? I'm not eating four pounds of Reese's eggs because they fit so well into my diet, it's because they're delicious!
MSN took a look at the nutritional qualities of Easter candies and ranked them as the best and worst. The primary thing they looked at was the calories per serving and then how the calories were composed in the candy. The worst candies (i.e. the tastiest) were those that had higher concentrations of fat and sugar.
They also looked at serving and packaging sizes, larger quantities equal less healthy. Then there's the ingredients. The "best" candies were those with fewer artificial ingredients and vegetable oils.
Here's what they found were the "worst" candies:
- Lindt Chocolate Carrots
- Dove Milk Chocolate Bunny
