Halloween Treats Don't Have To Be Junk

Sweet, Healthy Can Go Together

Cinderella, Spiderman, ghosts, goblins and witches may all come knocking on your door on Halloween looking for sweets.

This year, consider mixing up the candy bowl with a variety of non-traditional but nutritious goodies such as:

  • Mini rice cereal bites
  • Packages of trail mix or nuts
  • Cereal bars
  • Small boxes of raisins
  • Small packages of dried fruit
  • Sugar-free gum
  • Mini juice boxes
  • Snack-size packages of peanut butter and crackers, graham crackers or oatmeal cookies
  • Or, instead of giving candy to your trick-or-treaters, consider non-food treats like Halloween pencils, pens, stickers, tattoos and spider rings.
