Snickers ($29 for a three-pound pack) have a reputation for being satisfying, and these dietitians concur. "I am a huge Snickers fan and I love their fun-size bars during the Halloween season," said registered dietitian nutritionist Frances Largeman-Roth, who's based in Brooklyn, NY. "There's something really satisfying about the combo of chocolate, peanuts, and caramel — yum!" From a nutritional standpoint, Krista Linares, RDN, recommended any kind of candy with nuts or peanut butter. "While they still have a lot of sugar, the extra protein and fat from the nuts is more satisfying, making it easier for you to move on after one or two pieces."
Don't waste time on treats that aren't your absolute favourite, Krista added. If you start getting a stomachache or feeling full or thirsty, "it's time to move on and drink some water," she told POPSUGAR.
