Where Data Tells the Story

How much sugar is in one piece of Halloween candy? Using the USDA's FoodData Central database, we ranked 10 popular treats by grams of sugar in one fun-size or miniature piece. A fun-size pack of Skittles has 15.2 g, about 3.6 teaspoons, and sugar makes up 76% of its weight, the highest share of any candy here. Most fun-size bars have 8 to 10 g. A miniature Reese's cup has 3.3 g. Eat one of each and you'd get about 87 g of sugar, roughly 3.5 times the American Heart Association's recommended daily limit of 25 g of added sugar for children. USDA counts total sugars, which include small amounts found naturally in milk and nuts.
