Healthy Halloween Treats!

This has nothing to do with this post. But ISN’T this dog adorable?!!>>!
For two seconds I was thinking of giving kids fruit for Halloween…afterall, candy really IS NOT that good for you. When I was little it was a game to see who can find the candy bag mom hid from us after Halloween. LOL!
Here’s some Fit thoughts about Halloween treats:
Halloween brings out the kid in all of us. It’s fun to get dressed up in a costume and parade around the neighborhood or go to a party. Treats are a part of the fun. However, treats don’t have to be sticky, gooey candy.
Treats to Give
When gathering the treats you will offer this year think about some possible low- calorie, low-fat options.
Here are some ideas to get you started thinking:
- Cheese and cracker packages
- Sugar-free gum
- Cheese sticks
- Juice box packages
- Small packages of nuts or raisins
- Package of instant cocoa mix
- Peanuts in the shell
You could also consider giving some non-food treats such as stickers, balloons, crayons, pencils, colored chalk, erasers, whistles, baseball cards, rubber spiders or worms. A friend of mine used to give nickels, in today’s economy that may need to be dimes. read more tips here.

mmmmm…I love these!

I gave a TON of these popcorn balls out last year!
