"Candies that contain artificial flavorings, high fructose corn syrup, preservatives, and colorings are perhaps the worst choice," Kubala said. "Candies that are small in size like Skittles, Sour Patch Kids, M&M's, or candy corn tend to be overeaten quickly, which can lead to an excessive amount of sugar and calories being consumed."
