Movie time is an unhealthy, overpriced, delicious snack time. After all, there's nowhere else in the world where it's completely acceptable to gobble down sweets, soda, buttered popcorn and hot dogs in one sitting. On the candy front, two snacks stand out as undeniable classics: Goobers and JuJuBes. Which is best?

Category: Sweet

Goobers
JuJuBes

.
Appearance: Oblong peanuts nestled in thick, brown milk chocolate.
Appearance: Colorful little squishy dots packed in a neat, lime green box.

Stats: About $3; 200 calories, 13.3 g. fat
 Stats: About $2; 110 calories, 0 g. fat
Taste: Exquisite, what with the brackish taste of the roasted peanuts hidden inside the sweet, rich flavor of thick mounds of chocolate.

 Taste: A gummy texture with an overly sweet taste. The appearance fools your mouth into thinking that you're about to eat gummy bears, but instead offers something much more saccharine.
Downside: Realizing that you've just consumed 13 grams of peanut fat.
Downside: The tasty little buttons of candy are sold in limited places and are nearly impossible to find.

Our pick: Goobers. Chocolate and peanuts go together like Ashford and Simpson, plus there's nothing better than the salty/sweet combo of Goobers and popcorn during a movie.
