confectionary the count for the WHOLE thing when it's divided into six
or eight or a dozen pieces in the packet? I don't want to eat nine
hersheys kisses - two fits into my calorie allowance much better!)

They have to choose some size for a portion. I like it when the
portion
is divisible by the pieces/calories, so I can decide how much I want
to add to my diet.

I've found, for example, that a 100 calorie piece of good dark
chocolate
is perfect for me, satisfies my craving and doesn't leave me wanting
more.
The usual portion on the packet is 4-6 squares, and I can get by with
2.

Has the added advantage of making me feel good that I don't _have_ to
eat the whole portion<G>.
