Chocolate 101: Size Matters!

Before you chew, know the difference between Snack Size, Fun Size, and Miniatures...

Miniatures/Minis are the square-shaped morsels -- those babies are each about a quarter of an ounce in weight.





A Snack Size or Fun Size chocolate treat weighs in at a little more than half an ounce and is usually about 2 inches long.




Not all size-categorized treats are created equal. We've found seemingly identical Fun Size bars on shelves -- same brand, same flavor -- with varying weights and calorie counts. If you want to be extra-careful, we recommend going by the higher set of stats listed below.

    Thanks for posting this! I have been kind of dreading Halloween this year because of the candy. This list sums it up and comes in handy! Btw, did you know that "Hungry Girl" herself is married to Dan Schneider (who happens to be among the fluffy population), the creator of iCarly, Drake & Josh, and a bunch of other shows like that? (he was also on that show, Head of the Class back in the day) I found that out the other day, and thought that was kind of cool. :-)

    I didn't know that! No wonder her cartoon picture shows up in opening credits! I also just watched a youtube vid of her with one of the actors on the show (the borther, don't know his name) making some onion rings. It all makes sense now! Thank you :)

    I'm heading out in a few minutes to be the helping mom at my son's class Halloween party. Maybe I should print this out and staple gun it to my forehead. The pain should help remind me not to push the kids over and eat their candy.

    Thanks for the post. I've always had a hard time trying to figure out the fun and mini sized candys and how many calories were in each piece. This will make this Halloween much easier and hopefully easier to resist such candy.

    Lol Its hard if you have deprived yourself of chocolate for a long time not to assault them immediately upon sight.
