Woman eating chocolate

 
Chocolate and candy have played an important role in cultural traditions and seasonal celebrations for thousands of years. To this day, these treats are associated with holidays and gifting, as well as moments of celebration. Most people in the U.S. enjoy chocolate and candy 2-3 times per week, averaging about 40 calories and about one teaspoon of added sugar per day.

Chocolate and candy are treats, not everyday snacks or meal replacements.
