Refined sugar, a ton of full-fat dairy, preservatives and food-dyes are the leading ingredients of most of the popular Halloween candy on the market.




- 21 grams of sugar sneak into Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

 - Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil is in Snickers (TRANS FAT that is so bad for us, it’s actually banned in New York City restaurants)

- Artificial Flavor in KitKat Bars

- Hydrogenated Palm Oil and corn syrup in Skittles

So, instead of eating these artery-clogging and teeth-rotting candy bars, try my favorites this Halloween!
