The “Monstrous Munchies”… How to Stay Satisfied this Halloween

Halloween Candy

Sugar can be scary!

One BLOODCURDLING thought: Americans are expected to spend $2.35 MILLION on Halloween candy alone this year.  That’s a few, RITZY gym memberships (Source: Press Releases, 2012).

It’s Halloween.  The best time of year.  There is the chilly fall weather, the costumes, the haunted houses, and the CANDY.  It is one of those times we indulge, but to anyone who is on a waistline budget (or simply does not want that M&M hangover feeling), this “special spooky night” can literally be a nightmare.  So, here is some input on how to still have your favorites…. without paying the consequences.  However, instead of linking you to  article, Real Simple Magazine has created a little game where you compare two similar halloween candies (i.e. two types of chocolate bars) to decide which one is better for you.  Take a look — you might be surprised, or “spooked” at where you thought your “sweet-tooth safe-zone” was.

Share with us your favorite halloween candy or how you prefer to indulge!
