We all know Halloween pretty much means the same thing as “eat candy until you just can’t eat another handful of candy corn.” However, with various allergies and a push to encourage healthier snacking habits in our kids, you may want to find a non-candy alternative for Halloween Trick-or-Treaters.

Here are a few fun treats for the kids that might actually make them forget about the candy!


GoGo squeeZ Mummy Fruit Pouches

These adorable little mummies are quick to assemble and just plain adorable! Oh and healthy! Score!

Clementine Jack-O-Lanterns

Clementines are fun. Jack-O-Lanterns are fun. Put them together for double the fun! This would be a fun project for the kids to get involved with too, minus the Sharpie!
