Healthy Halloween

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.

1. Granola Bars
2. Raisins
3. Nuts
4. Cuties or Clementines
5. Popcorn packets
6. Peanut Butter crackers
7. Chex Mix
8. Apple Cider or Hot Cocoa packets
9. Goldfish
10. Pretzels
11. Dried Fruit packets
12. Bottled water
13. Baby pumpkins
14. Bubbles
15. Small Puzzles
16. Glow Sticks
17. Bouncy Balls
18. Stickers
19. Silly Straws
20. 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!
