Reconsider your Halloween “Treats”: Friday Quickie

Halloween is right around the corner, where most of the population loads up on the dangerous high-fructose corn syrup & sugar-filled candy treats.

What can you give out to the neighborhood kids instead of original candy? Here’s a few suggestions:

  • Boxed raisins or single-served pretzels
  • Pumpkin, sunflower or other seeds
  • Annie organic snack-packs
  • Covered’ fruit like bananas or oranges
  • Luna or Larabars

 

Readers, what are you putting in your Halloween ‘basket’ for the trick-or-treaters?
