- Twizzlers – Although it has a lot of sugar, it has zero grams of saturated fat.
- York Peppermint Patties – They have the lowest amount of saturated fat of all the candies.
- Honorable Mention: 100 Grand - Because "they do not have questionable artificial ingredients."
Least Healthy Choices:
- 3 Musketeers – It's the highest in saturated fat and sugar.
- Mounds – It's also high in saturated fat.
- Skittles – Among the highest in sugar with no nutritional value.
