Instead of Processed Junk, Give Out These Healthier Treats for Halloween

Wary of handing out fun­size candies that are loaded full of processed sugar to the trick­-or-treaters? Don’t be a monster neighbor—go with these equally sweet, yet healthier treats for Halloween.

Instead of Processed Junk, Give Out These Healthier Treats for Halloween

 

While we all know loading up on sugar isn’t the best idea, you sure don’t want to disappoint any of those adorable witches, precious ghosts, or tiny little firemen. No one wants to have a Halloween like poor Linus in It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, after all.

Thankfully, Thrive Market offers plenty of options for safely indulging your sweet tooth on All Hallows Eve and keep the hoards of trick­ or ­treaters happy—no matter your dietary preference.

Instead of Processed Junk, Give Out These Healthier Treats for Halloween

If you’re gluten­ free, you need to beware of many mass­market candies. Trace amounts of wheat often hide in many, including candy corn and licorice. And lots of kids with a gluten intolerance need to worry about cross­contamination, which many candy manufacturers can’t guarantee. Rest assured that you can find plenty of certified gluten­free options on Thrive Market, including these fun bubblegum lollipops.

If you’re vegan, never fear—we’ve got plenty of dairy­free options for you! If you love a creamy treat, try Cocomel’s coconut milk caramels. Oprah called them “transcendental,” after all. If you’d rather grab something with a little tang, these “transcendental,” will definitely make you pucker up.

If all you really want come October 31 is some pumpkin goodness, Thrive Market has you covered there, too. From plain old pumpkin puree, to pumpkin muffin mix, to pumpkin seeds, to irresistible pumpkin spice kettle corn, they really do offer everything pumpkin.

Have your happiest (and healthiest) Halloween yet with a great selection of goodies—all for 25 to 50 percent off at Thrive Market!

    I’ve given out fruit snacks before, or I like the idea of giving out glow sticks or little plastic rings, too. I have a friend that really like Thrive, though, and she’s tried to convince me to join. I haven’t yet, but maybe I will someday!

      I just recently joined Thrive and love it. My first order was 25% off their already low prices. If you want to try it, you get a 3 month trial membership for free and the same 25% discount. The link is at the bottom of my article. If you decide to try it, let me know how you like it.

    “Don’t be a monster neighbor” lol – love it! You don’t want to end up with your house toilet papered! These alternatives sound like they would make any kid (or adult) happy.

      They kids will just know that the snacks taste great. So there’s no worries about a TPd house

    I’m the same way Jessica. I’ve done different things too, but I’m glad there are more and more options available.

    These look like really great ideas! We give out a lot of candy at our church Harvest party every year.

      More and more companies offer healthier candies and non cnady options for Halloween. IT’s good to see that change.
