Skip The Candy: 10 Alternative Halloween Treats!

Stickers!
Halloween traditionally is full of candy. Lots and lots of candy, and even a week before Halloween my two toddlers are already on a sugar rush from the different Halloween related events we have been to where candy has been the main treat.
While we don’t stay home and give out treats to trick-or-treaters in our area, if I did I would be skipping the candy and springing for some more alternative, healthier, and downright fun treats. Kids are going to get enough candy for the night so why not try and switch it up a little bit?
I am sure once my kids are a little bit older and I am not so focused on being super mom and we actually stay home for Halloween instead of traveling to Grandma’s house for a huge to-do, I will spring for some of these alternatives from my list!
Feel free to comment and add some of your candy alternatives you give out, or would like to give out!

Love this. Thanks for the ideas
Reading the title, I immediately got defensive and thought “what the hell, kids dont go trick or treating for ALTERNATIVES to candy!” But a couple of these are really good ideas. I’ll tell ya the best treat I ever got was a kool-aid juicy one year, we sure had worked up thirst trick or treating and I was ecstatic. I have to say though forget the pretzels, how boring and they just end up getting crushed under the weight of the candy, and every kid has more than enough crayons and pencils so forget those too. I like the others.
