For ME, there is nothing more frightening on Halloween than my kids running around all cracked out on sugar, followed but tummy aches, & the looming thought of pediatric dental work. So...If you're worried about artificial ingredients in your kiddos' goody bag, here are a few HEALTHY Trick-or-treating alternatives I've come across, thanks to The Green Parent:
- If you're concerned about child labor chocolate factories look for "Fair Trade Chocolates" instead: *Exquisit Chocolate @ http://store.gxonlinestore.org/chocolateminis.html *Endangered Species Chocolates @ http://www.chocolatebar.com/
- Try Fruitabu's @ http://www.stretch-island.com/ for organic fruities in festive flavors.
- College Farm Organic @ http://www.collegefarmorganic.com/ offers a wide variety of all natural hard candies & lollipops. But wait, there's more...The clear candy wrappers are made of a "fully-compostable material derived from cornstarch" (an annually renewable resource).
- If Popcorn is your thing try individually-wrapped organic microwave popcorn like Newman's Own Organics (R.I.P. Paul).
- Earthbound Farms are the way to go for great tasting raisins (in "fun size" packages), or anything organic @ http://www.ebfarm.com/
- And for a longer lasting treat (at least maybe in your house), there's always Soy Crayons, stickers, temporary tattoos, and so on...
