]]> Trick-and-treating is one of the best parts of Halloween, but most kids come back home with a bunch of unhealthy treats by the end of the night. If you want to do things a little bit differently in your home this year, these tips will help you put a healthy twist on your tricks-or-treats.

Cut Sugar and Salt

Many snacks and candy that every kid will find in their trick-or-treat bag are packed with sugar and sodium. That’s why it’s best to avoid sugary chocolate bars, potato chips, and other salty snacks.

Careful with Homemade Snacks

The easiest way to put a healthy twist on tricks-or-treats would be to make your own snacks. Unfortunately, some parents will advise their children against taking them due to safety concerns, so your hard work could go to waste.

Salty Snacks

When it comes to salty snacks, the list of popular choices that happen to be of a healthier size includes trail mix, popcorn, whole-grain Pretzels, and similar snacks.

Sweet Snacks

There are many fruity snacks on the market, and you should look for ones containing whole fruits and no added sugars. Dark chocolate and protein bars are also a great healthy choice.

]]> Haunted houses and ghost stories are great, but if we’re being honest, our favorite part of Halloween is the candy! Sweets are such a part of Halloween tradition that little kids have been threatening to trash houses for not receiving them for centuries. 

If you don’t like keeping candy in hand, don’t worry. These healthier alternatives are delicious enough to prevent your house from being egged. 

Chocolate Turtles

A fan favorite in many a Halloween hoard, Turtles have that sweet, salty, and crunchy thing going on. Make your own using dates (which include fibre FYI), dark chocolate (packed with antioxidants), and pecans, and don’t feel guilty going back for more than one.

Sweet & Sour Grapes

If the thought of fruit posing as candy makes you groan, hold on for just a second. These grapes make such a good dupe for Sour Patch Kids that you’ll forget they’re actually healthy! Use lime juice and sherbet to get these babies as tart as your tongue will handle.

Peanut Butter Balls

No one can resist a Reese’s Cup, and these taste just the same. Peanut butter and chocolate is always a winning combination, and you can even throw in some protein powder to make them a good snack for the gym!

]]> Halloween is approaching, and so is trick-or-treat time. And you don’t want to risk your house being covered in eggs or toilet paper for not having treats, or even worse, handing out bad treats.

There is still time to get some Halloween candy, but don’t get just any. Instead, stock up on the best Halloween candy and be known as the home with the best Halloween treats in the neighborhood.

Butterfingers

Butterfingers are unpretentious, and that’s what makes them so good. Crisp core made out of numerous layers of peanut butter is covered with delicious milk chocolate, and together they are pure delight.

Almond Joy

Almond Joy has quite a few critics, but those are usually people who can’t stand coconut. Those that don’t mind it actually love the chocolate fusion of shredded coconut and whole almonds.

Snickers

You can’t go wrong with Snickers and its blend of nougat, caramel, and peanuts. It is one of the most famous candy bars in the world, and you’ll have a hard time finding a kid or an adult that doesn’t like it.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

Finally, if you want your Halloween candy game to be top-notch, you’ll go with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. It’s peanut butter covered in chocolate. What’s not to like?

]]> Halloween is almost upon us and that means candy! Whether or not you go trick or treating, Spooky Season is an excuse to indulge in everything from Skittles to M&Ms. In a bid to discover America’s favorite candy, job-hunting company, Zippia, used Google Trends. While some states definitely got it right, we’re a little concerned about others…

Candy Consumption

Is it any surprise that searches for candy (and sales) go up in October? Overall, the average person in the US eats 8 pounds of candy per year. No wonder the US candy production market is worth $12.1 billion!

Who is Eating What?

The most popular candy across the country is KitKats, with 6 states choosing it as their sweet of choice. The chocolate wafers trumped Starbursts which took the prize last year. Twix also proved popular, as did Reese’s, Dum Dums, Jolly Ranchers, Skittles, and Sour Patch Kids. Weirdly enough, some states actually picked Candy Corn and black licorice. 

Chocolate or Gummies?

50 states were surveyed and the results were close… but chocolate won the battle. 28 states named chocolate candies as their favorite, while the other 22 prefer gummies, fruit-flavored candies, and other non-chocolate candies.
