Halloween is a dentist’s favorite holiday. Why? Would you believe that over $2 billion is spent each year on Halloween candy?! That’s a whole lot of scary cavities. But since you’re going to run out and buy some (and be judged by the kiddies), let me tell you that chocolate candy bars are rated the #1 Trick or Treaters delight (and Snickers is the absolute fave.) And, in case you’re wondering, there is more than 35 million pounds of candy corn made each year, equaling something like 9 billion kernels. But, hey, at only 3.6 calories, it might be the dieter’s choice. There’s less sugar in a candy corn than in a raisin! Or forgo the calories all together and give yourself a candy corn manicure.
