Some snack-sized Halloween candies have more sugar than others, [according to a list compiled by _Cooking Light_](http://www.cookinglight.com/eating-smart/smart-choices/candy-nutrition-comparison/view-all). And that difference may matter: a [new study released Tuesday declared sugar “toxic”](http://time.com/4087775/sugar-is-definitely-toxic-a-new-study-says) and warned that it can cause health problems. Of the 40 candies the _Cooking Light_ examined, the one with the most sugar was, perhaps fittingly, Sugar Babies: the 21 g snack size packet of the candy-coated caramels contains 15 g of sugar. Other sugary candies include a single Charm’s Blow Pop (13 g sugar) and a mini box of Nerds (12 g sugar). (For perspective, a teaspoon contains 4 g of sugar.)
