Here comes Peter Cottontail... OK, maybe it's just Hungry Girl in a bunny suit. But she's got candy you can eat without guilt, so who cares?!
EASTER... SANS SUGAR!
Sugar-Free Jelly Bellys
35 beans = 80 calories, 0g fat, 37g carbs, 8g fiber
There are pretty much two kinds of jelly beans in the world -- Jelly Bellys and everything else (oh, and the ones we mention below--so, three!). That's why we're so thrilled Jelly Belly makes a line of sugar-free jelly beans, in Assorted Flavors or Sours. (Pssst! They also make sugar-free gummi bears.) FYI, these candies are sweetened with Splenda.![]()
Sugar-Free Peeps
3 chicks = 60 calories, 0g fat, 23g carbs, 0g fiber
Three little Splenda-sweetened marshmallow chicks add up to a mere 60 calories, which is pretty sweet. However, if you wanna snack on regular Peeps (it IS a special occasion!), a serving of them will only run you between 130 and 160 calories (depending on which shape you get).
PARTY WITH CAUTION...
100 Calorie Packs Oreo Candy Bites
1 pack = 100 calories, 3.5g fat, 17g carbs, 0g fiber
Yeah, yeah, these things are available year-round... but they're round and almost candy-egg-like! If you're filling up an Easter basket for someone watching their calorie intake, these packets are great.
Starburst Original Jelly Beans
about 1/4 cup = 150 calories, 0g fat, 37g carbs, 0g fiber
Some of the best non-Jelly-Belly jelly beans. If you NEED sugary candy and can keep yourself from overdoing it, go for it! Just be warned that while 1/4 cup of jelly beans sounds like a lot, you could get in trouble if you start mindlessly chewing. Our advice? Measure out a scoop FIRST, and then put away the bag.
YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T EAT...
Cadbury Creme Eggs
1 egg = 150 calories, 5g fat, 25g carbs, 0g fiber
Thinking about Cadbury Eggs makes us want to throw a full-on "But I WANT them!"-style tantrum. But just like we didn't need a new hot-pink dress for our Barbie (Mom was right), we really don't need these, either. However, for those of us who absolutely need to have one (JUST ONE!) per year, go for it. But stick with one.
Big solid chocolate bunnies
1.5 oz. = about 220 calories, 12g fat, 25g carbs, 0.5g fiber
These sweet things are the opposite of portion control. Sure, you can say, "I'm only going to eat the ears," but then before you know it, you're gnawing at its little tail. Your average 6-oz. chocolate bunny has around 880 calories and almost 50g fat. ACK! Don't even bother. Buy these other sweets.
