Less Healthy Option: Reese’s Pieces

Less Healthy Option: Reese’s Pieces

Reese’s Pieces aren’t so innocent. How bad can a little peanut butter candy be? For 8 ounces, Reese’s packs in 1,160 calories, 35 grams saturated fat and 122 grams sugars! Junior Mints are a better choice — a 4.75-ounce box of Junior Mints has 432 calories. Plus, mint has been found to help cut cravings, so you feel satisfied eating less.
