Which of these snacks is healthier?

Might be a simplistic way to look at this, but the more processed the food, the worse it is, regardless of the listed fat/sugar contents.

So true. I have to hold myself back from blasting someone everytime they mention calories in a meal or fat content, despite actual nutritional content.

In low-fat, low-salt, low-calorie ready meals, they still won't be healthy because of all the highly processed chemicals they used to make it resemble real food. Just like in the chocolate (all highly processed ingredients) vs nuts/fruit.

Another great example above - trans-fats, the body can't deal with them and they are banned in lots of countries already, but not UK yet (AFAIK). Used by large suppliers of oils as they last longer on the shelf, but are so much worse for peoples health than all other food-oils out there.

Their not fatties. They are "famine resistant"

Am amazed that in a 100g pack of dried cranberries, 80% of it is pure sugar which is a much higher % than chocolate.

that will be for sweetened, dried cranberries though which are sprayed with a sugar solution. Just plain dried cranberries would be significantly lower.
