Make Supernaturally Healthy Halloween Treats

Halloween is always an exciting time of year, for kids and grownups alike. Even this year, when you look around, you will see jack-o'-lanterns and decorations outside many homes. Inside those homes, however, you may find a lot of candy just waiting to be devoured. Does the thought of so much sugary stuff around your house make you shudder with fright? With a little creativity, you can add fun, healthy Halloween treats into the mix. Try these recipe ideas to make Halloween healthier for your family.

Trick or Treats to Go

We’ve scared up some of our favorite transportable treat ideas that are kid-friendly and mom-approved.

  • 100% juice boxes or pouches
  • Snack-size packages of pretzels, popcorn, graham crackers, dried fruit or vegetables, trail mix, nuts, or pumpkin seeds
  • 100% real fruit strips, ropes, or leather brands
  • Sugar-free gum

These hauntingly healthy snacks are as fun to make as they are to eat. Great for party favors or to give out as healthier treat options.

What to Do with Gobs of Candy

If your kids do end up with an excess of less healthy Halloween treats, here are some ways to enjoy the evening’s haul responsibly and get rid of leftover candy:

  • Keep enough candy for each child to have one or two pieces a day for one or two weeks--long enough for the excitement to fade.
  • When your child asks for a piece of candy, pair it with a healthy snack: an apple or banana, some nuts, crumbled into yogurt, or celery with peanut butter.
  • “Purchase” candy from your child with money or tokens they can trade-in for a fun activity: an afternoon matinee, extra time playing at the park, going ice-skating, or dinner at their favorite pizza joint.
  • Save some for holiday baking.
  • Use well-wrapped candy to add to candy bowls for Thanksgiving guests or to fill the Christmas stockings.
  • Use it to decorate a holiday gingerbread house or use it in an arts and crafts project.
  • Donate extra candy to a homeless shelter, children’s hospital, or care package program for troops overseas. Sometimes, a local dentist may have a program for accepting excess Halloween candy.
