Is it best to give out full-size candy bars or miniatures at Halloween?

Both full-size and miniature candy bars are accessible for Halloween festivities like trick-or-treating. Kids, of course, love to get the full-size bar, while parents may see the miniatures as more economical. You do usually get more bars and a bigger variety when you opt for the minis. If you know you will have a small number of tricker treaters, full-size bars will be well received by delighted visitors.

What does it mean when a chocolate bar says "zero sugar?"

When a chocolate bar says "zero sugar," it usually means it was sweetened with an alternative sweetener, like stevia, sucralose, sorbitol, maltitol, or xylitol. These products usually have less than half a gram of sugar or it means no additional sugar—beyond naturally occurring sugars—was added during the process of making the item.
