With Halloween looming, it’s time to start thinking about which treats you’ll be handing out at home, during Trunk or Treat, at work, at school….basically everywhere there might be a child in a costume. On that note, I have some alternatives to suggest to the traditional candy with the hope of reducing overall sugar intake and improving overall health.
- Granola Bars
- Raisins
- Nuts
- Cuties or Clementines
- Popcorn packets
- Peanut Butter crackers
- Chex Mix
- Apple Cider or Hot Cocoa packets
- Goldfish
- Pretzels
- Dried Fruit packets
- Bottled water
- Baby pumpkins
- Bubbles
- Small Puzzles
- Glow Sticks
- Bouncy Balls
- Stickers
- Silly Straws
- Dress Up Jewelry
Of course, all of these won’t work in all situations, and you should consider possible allergies and ages of your target audience, but hopefully we’ll see a little less sugar crash on All Saint’s Day!
