The ultimate guide to the most and least healthy Halloween candies

Halloween is almost upon us.

With that in mind, we recently visited the nearest grocery store and took a quick survey of their Halloween candy aisle. In total, we looked at 45 candies and accounted for their calories, fat, sugar, and protein content. Candies lower in sugar, fat, and calories and higher in protein got ranked more positively than candies higher in sugar, fat, and calories and lower in protein.

And while no candy is obviously nutritious, these are the ones you're better off eating - or avoiding.

Here are the 10 that reign supreme as the "healthiest" of the season:
