Whatever the reason you’re trying to avoid handing out candy this Halloween, whether you’re simply trying to mix things up, you’re promoting a healthy-eating agenda, you’re trying to cater to trick-or-treaters with food allergies or dietary restrictions, or some other reason altogether, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve compiled a list of Halloween candy alternatives kids will actually like. Hand out any of these items and trick-or-treaters will walk away from your doorstep satisfied. And, consequently, you’ll avoid inciting the wrath of would-be tricksters out for revenge. Your Jack-o-lanterns will survive the night, your home will remain yolk-less and your trees will stay free of toilet paper. This is what we call a win-win scenario.
