Oh, how sweet it is to have a bag full of your favorite candy on Halloween night. You start right away diving into the sweet pleasures after going house to house for three hours.

By the end of the night, you have eaten half of your candy and have an overindulged feeling. But,all that candy leads to bigger consequences after Halloween.

Many popular candy choices contain high calorie and sugar contents leaving your body working harder to burn off the extra calories.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins are 350 calories for every 2 pumpkins. These chocolate treats are bigger than the normal size Reese’s which are sold all year.

According to Amanda MacMillan, a correspondent to Fox News, “You’ll need to run about 33 minutes at a 10-minute pace to cancel them out.”

Another calorie packed candy is Hershey’s Milk Chocolate snack size bars. If you eat the serving suggestion of three bars it has a calorie count of 190 calories. But you may find yourself eating more than the suggested serving size.

MacMillan also suggested that chocolate bars are, “A snack that will take 59 minutes of light to moderate weight lifting to burn off.”

The rich caramel and nuts center of Snickers may be tricking you with 160 calories for every two fun size bars.

MacMillan said to burn off the bars, “You’d have to do 50 minutes of Pilates.” During the holidays, it is common for people to gain extra weight from the abundance sweets and lack of an active lifestyle.

To fight childhood obesity, Americans should reduce the amount of candy passed or received at Halloween and replace it with prizes that range from ping pong paddles to plastic airplanes and yoyos. These items and many others can increase physical activity and excitement of trick or treating.
