Instead – consider these nutritionist picks for Halloween Treats!

Goldfish
Teddy Grahams

Can’t find better-for-you treats that are specifically Halloween-themed? Wrap any single-serving packs with Halloween-colored ribbon!
The Teal Pumpkin Project:
The Teal Pumpkin Project is specially created for kids with food allergies – kids can have a tough time trick-or-treating because of certain food limitations, so the Teal Pumpkin Project is asking people to have options for kids who have allergies.
For homes who participate, simply paint a pumpkin teal so that trick-or-treaters know you have “safe” treats!
