    Look up a candy

    Numbers are per piece (one bar, one pack, one cup) for the trick-or-treat size. Tap + to put a piece in your bag; the bag stays at the bottom of your screen with the running total, and you can open it to change counts, remove a candy, or empty it. The chip next to each name is its vote count and rank. Tap a candy to see the label the numbers came from. If the wrapper in your hand says something different, go with the wrapper.

    Why fat and protein matter with candy

    Total carbs

    Total carbohydrate is the number most people use for a bolus. The numbers here are the label's total carbs, not "net" carbs.

    Fat and protein slow the sugar down

    A peanut butter cup or a bar with nuts is mostly fat and protein, so the sugar can show up later than a pack of Skittles would. That's what the Fat-Protein Bolus Estimator is built to show.

    Chocolate is slow for treating lows

    The fat in chocolate slows the sugar down. Candies with no fat, like Smarties, Skittles and candy corn, act faster. Talk with your care team about what to use to treat lows.

    Same candy, different sizes

    Reese's snack-size cups come in two sizes, and the bars in mixed bags are often smaller than in their own bags. The bag each number came from is listed under every candy.

    Scott and Jenny Smith go through the most popular Halloween candies one at a time on Bolus 4: Halloween Candy.

    Where the numbers come from

    Maker label means the number was copied from the Nutrition Facts panel the candy company publishes for that exact product and size. Store label means the maker doesn't publish that panel online, so the number comes from the printed label as shown on two different grocery stores' listings, and the two matched.

    Nothing here is estimated. Where a label covers more than one piece, the per-piece number is the label divided by the piece count, rounded to the nearest half gram, and the exact label is shown under each candy. The bag adds up the unrounded numbers. A candy that couldn't be confirmed this way was left off the list. Labels checked October 6–7, 2026. Candy companies change recipes and sizes, so the wrapper in your hand is always the final word.
