RANKED: These are the most and least healthy Halloween candies
Science1 min read

By this point in the year, you've likely already caved and bought some Halloween candy.

But, is there any way to know which ones are perhaps a little better for you than the rest? With that question in mind, Business Insider took a quick survey of our local Halloween candy aisle. In total, we looked at 45 candies and accounted for their calories, fat, sugar, and protein content. Candies that were lower in sugar, fat, and calories and higher in protein ranked more positively than candies higher in sugar, fat, and calories and lower in protein.

And while no candy is obviously nutritious, these are the ones you're better off eating - or avoiding.

Here are the 10 that reign supreme as the "healthiest" of the season:
