Non Candy Halloween Treats that Appeal to Kids and Adults Who Want a Healthy Alternative to Sugary Snacks

Non candy Halloween treats can be favorites for parents because they know how their children can get overloaded with all the sticky sweets traditionally handed out each year. Typically, on Halloween kids come home loaded with candy laden bags. On a busy Halloween day sometimes, they end up with more than they can ever eat while others have allergies to contend with.

It’s nice to have options and offer something else for trick-or-treaters besides sweets. Not everyone likes the taste of candies or the calories that come with it. There can be other issues too, like melting chocolate in warm climates or bad tasting food dyes.
