Leftover Halloween Candy! Is it worth the calories?

Which Halloween candy has the most calories per serving?
*Plain Fun Size M&M's
*Miniature Snickers
*Fun Size Kit Kat
*Candy Corn

One Fun Size bag of M&M's has about 88 calories! Research studies show running on the treadmill for 1 mile burns approximately 120 calories and walking at a brisk pace about 80. Really? That means I'll have to run an extra 7.5 miles to burn off those 10 pieces of leftover Halloween candy I've eaten over the last couple days? Ok, I know it's not really calories in calories out but it does put it into perspective. Those innocent little pieces of leftover candy add up quick! Best bet...throw it out or give it away and get an extra workout in this week! The extra calories are not worth it especially with the holidays coming up.
