Candy Calculator

http://childrentoday.com/resources/ccalc.htm

Today's site, from the magazine "Children Today", offers a
convenient way to tot up the caloric intake of the too often
irresistible sweets which
find their way home after a "trick or treat" expedition. Readers
may find it useful to know the less than nutritious content of
many Halloween goodies.

"Who can pass by a bowl full of assorted candy after Halloween?
It's just too tempting! But just how many calories and how much
fat and saturated fat are you and your family consuming when you
munch? Use this calculator to find out!" - from the website

The candy calculator lists almost twenty of the most popular
confections, from jelly beans to licorice twists. Visitors simply
plug in the quantity
and click "Add" to find the total calories, grams of fat and
saturated fat.  A small point but easy to overlook, is that some
of the items already have specific quantities indicated, such as
35 "milk chocolate covered raisins", so the input number is a
multiple of that quantity.
