Tasty Treats Beyond Candy Perfect for a Sweet & Succulent Spooky Season

Trick or treat…give us something good to eat! The haunted October holiday of Halloween is synonymous with pumpkins, costumes, and candy.

While most trick-or-treaters expect to collect a sackful of chocolates, candy bars, and assorted Halloween-themed candies on October 31, not everyone hopes for Halloween candy. Fortunately, there are so many candy alternatives for Halloween, including small Halloween toys and non-candy foods, that can allow you to eat, drink, and be scary this Halloween!

What to Give Kids Instead of Candy?

There are many candy alternatives to pass out for Halloween instead of candy. Things to give kids instead of candy include classic and inexpensive trinkets like Halloween stickers, plastic spider rings, slime, plastic vampire teeth, pencils, temporary tattoos, and glow–in-the-dark everything.

If you want to give out edible treats to trick-or-treaters or at trunk-or-treat, consider healthy options like apples (Bobbing for Apples, anyone?), oranges, and pumpkin-shaped pretzels, and sweet treats like Halloween party food and Halloween desserts like cookiescakes, and cupcakes. If you’re throwing a Halloween party, pumpkin soup and spooky punch are delicious alternatives to candy.
