Hard candy wins because it is small and it takes a while. A lollipop, a candy cane or a piece of toffee is a few minutes of sweet for very little.
Further down the portion gets bigger, not the candy worse. A handful of gummy bears is 86 kcal and the whole 100 g bag is 343. Candy corn is 7 a piece and 140 a handful.
The last few have nuts in them. Turrón, marzipan and a bag of candied almonds from a market stall carry almonds, so they bring some protein along: 13 g in the full 500 kcal bag.
