My advice is if you want to eat any of these, just cut the portion size IN HALF and you can't go wrong. The calorie count/fat gram info was way to similar to impact your total daily consumption. 30 calories difference, a few fat grams difference are hardly significant. I'd rather get a really great quality/ rich tasting candy and eat one or two pieces a day. This stuff is not worth the calories whatever the portion, IMO.

WRONG FORREST! Calories are calories, fat has 9 calories per gram, carbohydrates have 4 calories per gram. Consuming a little over 2 times the weight of carbohydrates will give you an equal amount of calories and ergo an equal amount of work to keep the weight off!

Good Lord calories are energy , the only reason people would need less of them is for lazy people who sit on a chair allday. Fat is much more worse than calories as it is "harder to burn".
