If there's one thing almost everyone is a fan of, it's got to be candy. Unless you're someone who despises sugar, this post is for you. Today, we sink back, relax, and take time to enjoy our favorite treats... all while making them sound healthy. There are 5 major food groups: fruits, grains, dairy, proteins, and vegetables, and now you can see which candies fit each category.
1. Fruits
This, by far, is the easiest category, because there are so many fruit flavored candies. There's Hi-Chew, Smarties, Airheads, Jolly Ranchers, Sourpatch, FunDip, LaffyTaffy, and just plain gum! Skittles, anyone?

2. Grains
The grains group needs some form of bread. What about KitKat, Twix, Snickers, and Crunch, which all have wafers?

3. Dairy
If you want a dairy delight, look no further. What about MilkyWay? Or Malted Milk Balls? Oh yeah, and another easy solution would be to get some Ghirardelli milk chocolate.

4. Proteins
Swedish fish, Cadbury Chocolate Eggs, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and even chocolate covered almonds provide great protein... at least their names do.

5. Vegetables
Last but not least, we have our vegetables. Don't worry, this veggie candy is totally delicious. Just try some Candy Corn. You can even make it a cob, which I'd recommend doing on April Fool's Day ;).

Well, I hope you enjoyed this post. Don't spend all of your time eating candies from these food groups, though. There's still the candies from the dessert group to look for :).
And now, go eat your real dinner.
