We already have a couple of pounds of Halloween candy in the kids’ trick-or-treat bags. Thankfully, they like to organize it more than they like to eat it! When you begin to rummage through those trick-or-treats totes, it’s great to have a plan in place to work off those extra calories that are quickly ingested, but not-so-quickly burned off. So, here is a “trick” to keeping those scary pounds off during Halloween:
| Candy | Calories | Minutes Walking* |
| Smarties- 1 roll | 25 | 7 |
| 1 Hershey’s miniature | 42 | 11 |
| Blow Pop | 60 | 15 |
| Snickers Fun Size | 72 | 18 |
| M&Ms Fun Size | 90 | 23 |
| Candy Corn (22 pieces) | 165 | 41 |
| Reese’s PB Cup | 210 | 53 |
*For a 130 lb woman at a 3mph pace
How about trading some of those traditional treats for new ones? One of my favorite sites, Organic Deals, posted some great organic swap-outs for your conventional Halloween staples. My kids love the Yummy Earth Organic Lollipops and Annie’s Organic Gummy Snacks!
