I usually trick or treat with my friends’ children, and kind neighbors have been known to offer a candy bar or two to the lone adult shuffling around herds of tiny ghosts and goblins. _Cooking Light_’s RD, Sidney Fry, compared the nutrition facts of 40 trick-or-treat options and plotted the most popular on this handy Treat Picker map for you. (See all 40 in our [Halloween Candy Nutrition Comparison](http://www.cookinglight.com/eating-smart/smart-choices/candy-nutrition-comparison).) This way, when you’re raiding the kids’ stash at midnight, you know you can indulge in an extra mini Mr. Goodbar but fewer Reese’s Cups. (_Dang!_ That’s my favorite!)
