Best Answer

Almost all candy contains some form of sugar; sugars are simple carbohydrates, which provides a quick burst of energy, often followed by a 'crash'.

Some candy bars may contain a small amount of protein (from, for example, peanuts) or calcium (from the milk used in milk chocolate); but these are more than offset by the amount of calorie-dense fats that such bars also contain.

Bottom line, eat candy for the enjoyment, or for a short term energy shot. But don't expect to get a lot of nutrition along the way. And if getting (or staying) in shape is important to you, make sure to have candy only in moderation, as a special treat.
