Trick or Treating - Unusual Candy and Other Treats
Halloween is coming - that favorite holiday of all children across the U.
S.
A.
! Children love Halloween for many reasons: they get to dress up in a fun costume, go out at night and knock on doors and greet people with 'Trick or Treat' - but especially they love Halloween because they get loaded down with many sugary treats.
But there are ways that you can make Halloween a real Treat and not a Trick for your favorite little pumpkins in the long run, with some organic and sugar free candies or even with some candy-free treats.
The childhood obesity rates have been climbing over the years, and many families are concerned about giving their children more sugary treats - even on Halloween.
One great idea is to offer your Trick or Treaters organic or sugar-free candy.
Organic candy is made from natural ingredients, and is healthier than candy made from traditional ingredients such as artificial food colorings.
Sugar free candy is also an excellent alternative as it tastes just as sweet as regular candy but there is no sugar.
Organic Lollipops could be an excellent choice for your Halloween Trick or Treaters.
Most children like lollipops and they come in a variety of flavors.
Consider Naturepops Lollipops for Halloween.
They come in modern, cool flavors such as Citrus Blast and Chocolate.
Ingredients include organic lime extract, organic orange extract and vegetable colors.
The lollipops do have organic evaporated cane juice, which is a natural form of sugar.
If you'd like to offer chocolate treats to your Trick or Treaters, consider the College Farm brand Organic Chocolate Mint hard candies.
These are organic and have no artificial colors or flavors.
They have ingredients like Organic Chocolate Extract, Organic Vanilla, Sea Salt and Organic Peppermint Oil.
Another idea is to offer sugar free candies.
One terrific benefit of sugar free candy is that they will not promote tooth decay.
Also diabetic children may be permitted to have some candy (depending on their regimen).
Now there are many brands of candy available that are sugar free.
One of them is the Serendipity Sugar Free (TM) candies that come in many flavors, rootbeer rally, lemon sunshine, citrus blast, toffee tickle, strawberry smile, cherry jubilee, jumpin' java and minty breeze.
A three-pound bag has 96 candies, enough to cover an entire night of Trick or Treaters.
The candies are also Kosher and vegetarian.
If you would like to move away from offering sweets or treats of any type, consider these alternatives: why not give out Halloween-themed stickers for the evening, pre-cut materials to make a Halloween craft (sealed) or a mini Halloween toy.
You can buy little toys in bulk from teacher stores and from several online retailers.
One of the great things about non-candy treats is that they will last long after Halloween is over.
