Halloweens coming : which candy is your favorite poison and how many calories and fat?

I love Reeses Peanut butter cup and Butterfingers. I don't eat them often but no here is more food for thought why and information about other candies which you might want to check out.

This candied source of protein (ahem, peanut-butter indulgence) is higher in calories:

* Butterfinger (whole bar) 230 calories 13 grams fat
* Reese’s (two peanut butter cups) 270 claories 11 grams fat
