If there’s one thing that screams Halloween (besides costumes and pumpkins), it’s sweets and chocolate.
Sure, sweets aren’t exactly the most nutritious — but c’mon, it’s just one day! “I always say just eat whatever you want on that one day, then give the rest away,” says Keri Gans, a registered dietician.
That being said, some Halloween goodies will leave you with less of a next-day sugar hangover than others. And no, healthy Halloween sweets don’t have to taste like, well, trash.
Whether you’re dishing ’em out to trick-or-treaters or sampling from your own stash, these 20 healthy Halloween sweet options won’t leave anyone disappointed.
1/ Biona Organic Tutti Frutti Gums
These organic gummies are vegan and gluten-free. They get their colour and flavour from natural sources like fruit juice concentrates and are made with raw cane sugar. We’re not saying this is ‘healthy’ but it certainly is a treat with cleaner ingredients.
