You know what Halloween means: sugar, sugar, oh, and more sugar! As early as late summer, stores began displaying festive treats conveniently packaged in small, easy-to-eat portions. When the holiday finally arrives, we have already been gobbling up candy corn and “fun-sized” candy bars for weeks. I remember a time when I couldn’t wait for all those multi-packs chocolate bars and candies to hit the store shelves. I didn’t have to decide between two different …
