Without knowing which candies you're asking about specifically and what the rest of your diet looks like, I would say chocolate candy is better for you in moderation.

High quality chocolate (with high cacao content) offers trace minerals, some fiber and healthy antioxidants. However, even though the higher cacao content (65% to 80%) has less sugar than many other candies, it still has plenty of calories from the cocoa butter. The good news is that a little goes a long way, a slowly savored piece of Dark Chocolate can be more satisfying than a handful of hard candies even if it does have more calories.
