WMDT 47 NEWS - If you have a sweet tooth, I'm sure you already have a hankering for Halloween candy, but considering the calories, candy can be a little scary.

A Halloween staple, candy corn, may be small, but it packs a big punch.  Only 19 pieces total 140 calories, so if you're not careful, you could end up eating a meal's worth of empty calories.

Another year round favorite, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups stuff in 105 calories per cup.

Experts agree that one of the better candies are those small Dum-Dum lollipops which are only about 25 calories each.

The holidays are a great time to indulge, but remember that moderation is always key.
