Candy is of course a big part of Halloween. But you don’t have to be a dentist (only a parent) to know that kids get a lot of candy on Halloween. That’s why it can be nice to offer something else to trick-or-treaters. For those with food allergies, it might be one of the only treats they can take on Halloween. But even for those kids without allergies, it can be a nice change-up and stand out in their treat bags. And for parents looking at weeks of negotiating about candy limits, it can be a welcome reprieve.
Here are a few ideas for non-candy treats that are perfect for Halloween night. Warning: some of these are going to be more popular than any candy, so buy extra! These are all available online but many similar options are available in your local shops—without having to wait or pay for shipping!
