You know they'll never really be good for you, but gosh darn if you don't miss them like a ghost misses saying "boo" at all other times of the year.

10.  Toblerone Fun Size

i.makeagif.com

Per Fun Size bar: 66 calories, 3.6 g fat (1 g saturated), 7.4 g sugar

The little triangle treat that makes you feel fancy. These may not be as impressive as the giant ones you can find at the airport, but they're still fun to nibble at.

9. Hershey’s Kisses

media.giphy.com

Per 3 pieces: 67 calories, 4 g fat (2.4 g saturated), 7.7 g sugar

MWAH. Perfect. Just a little bit. And you get three whole kisses!!

8. Nestle Crunch Fun Size

media.giphy.com

Per Fun Size bar: 60 calories, 3 g fat (2 g saturated), 7 g sugar

Just that little bit of fake chocolatey goodness to get you through the day.

7. Kit Kat Snack Size

media.giphy.com

Per Fun Size bar: 70 calories, 3.6 g fat (2.3 g saturated), 7 g sugar

It's like two bars for the sweet, crunchy caloric-price of one.

6. York Peppermint Pattie Snack Size

media.giphy.com

Per Snack Size patty: 60 calories, 1.25 g fat (.75 g saturated), 11 g sugar

They're basically giant, less creamy Junior Mints, so you can eat one instead of feeling guilty about downing an entire box.

5. Nerds Fun Size

thumbs.gfycat.com

Per Fun Size pack: 50 calories, 0 g fat, 12 g sugar

The little box of joy that functions both as a tasty treat and a method of mocking your friends, these little guys are just all around entertaining.

4. Tootsie Pop

media.giphy.com

Per pop: 60 calories, 0 g fat, 10 g sugar

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? Well, apparently about 364, but you can be the judge of it.

3. Smarties Candy Rolls

thumbs.gfycat.com

Per roll: 25 calories, 0 g fat, 6 g sugar

I'm personally incredibly biased toward these little suckers, but they're honestly great since you feel satisfied after just one little roll of them (and you can enjoy them slowly or all at once).

2. Pixy Stix

i.imgur.com

Per straw: 9 calories, 0 g fat, 2.1 g sugar

Ah yes, the original crack-in-a-tube. Sour, sweet, and just the right amount of tang, it'll definitely kick your craving in the balls.

1. Jelly Belly Jelly Beans Mini Pack

media1.tenor.com

Per pack: 35 calories, 0 g fat, 7 g sugar

Although these may seem very plain jane in comparison to the other candy on this list, they are objectively the healthiest (and I really cannot imagine wanting to sit down and eat a whole bowl of these -- just the one small pack is perfect for me, thank you). There's a multitude of flavors that leave you guessing and wanting a couple more, but then that black licorice one comes along...and ugh...you're good with that whole "candy business" for a while...
