Green Halloween Treats

We do not always give out the traditional stuff for Halloween, partly because we think it gets boring, but also because some of the candy and treats are very unhealthy.  We have given out things like small tooth brushes, golf balls, tennis balls, juice boxes and small toys... and organic food treats from our local health food store.  Here is a great link for
healthy and green treats for Halloween, in addition, our own Trader Joe's sometimes get specials on candy that is healthier than your typical fast food candy.  For these we head over to Marlene's  Natural Food Market forHalloween sized bites.  Many of the new healthier natural and organic candies do not contain as much sugar or transfats, or corn syrup which is a genetically modified product which can contain high levels of pesticides and herbicides.  We still give out old fashioned fruits and organic popcorn balls, which we label with our name and address so people know where they came from.  Better choices for health mean better choices for kids.
