Tricks for treats…
The trick is not to let the treat add on the pounds!  As far as I am concerned – this is the start of the Holiday season!  I know when I walk into the office today, there is going to be Halloween candy EVERYWHERE!  It actually started last week, but now everyone will be pawning off their bounty around the office!
I am not encouraging this, but there are some options if you have the need to indulge!  I know I will break down at some point (Twizzlers are my downfall) and will keep these guidelines in mind:
Before you chew, know the difference between Snack Size, Fun Size, and Miniatures;
Miniatures/Minis are the square-shaped morsels -- those babies are each about a quarter of an ounce in weight.Candy
A Snack Size or Fun Size chocolate treat weighs in at a little more than half an ounce and is usually about 2 inches long.
