I am actually not even handing out candy this year, but if I were going to there’s only one type of candy I’d be spending my money on.
Check out my recent Charlotte Today Show clip below to see…
- The “cleanest” Halloween candy on the market.
- What I am going to hand out this year.
- Other fun alternatives to candy.
- What my daughters would choose out of all these ideas.
Plus for those who know us you better watch out because my 8-year-old now thinks she is “famous” after her 5 (silent) minutes on TV during this clip. The girls were just going to the studio to watch me do this segment, but at the last minute (to their delight) they were invited to join us on stage. 
Oh and PS – I know the mention of handing out “bouillon cubes” seems really random, but the host (Colleen) was joking about giving those out earlier in the show! Definitely don’t hand those out – ha!
A few quick technical notes :
- It may take a few seconds for the video to start.
- If the video player has a black bar covering up part of the screen hit the little “CC” button at the bottom right to turn off closed captioning before you play the video (if you prefer).

I bought Annie’s organic bunny-shaped fruit snack bags in my daughter’s favorite flavors to hand out. It costs the same as a large candy bar, but it is healthy and delicious. My kids ate them all the way through the college years. They are well known and loved. I really doubt the kids or their Moms will through them out. It also sends a message that I think my neighbors’ children deserve organic treats for Halloween. That is being a good neighbor. Of course, I can only give out 1 to a customer because they are pricey. I really doubt the kids will say, “what another one of these?”
What great ideas! Letting the kids indulge for one night then getting rid of the candy, glow sticks and water – I’m using these!
Oh come on, just say it, don’t make me watch the video please!
The video only plays until 2:34 for me each time

[...] What a *****! If you dont want to give out candy then dont, but no kid deserves to be bullied, on halloween, by an adult. This is a great post about some fun, noncandy things you can give out. Her focus is on health, not weight, but she wont give out things she wouldnt feed her kids, which is fair, but she isnt a douche about it.

I think that these are great ideas, and certainly our children don’t need anymore candy. Water and juice is also a wonderful idea. My son will ask for that about 5 minutes into our trick-o-treat night. Keep up the good work fellow Charlotte mom!
What great ideas! I can’t wait to get your cookbook:) My husband, 3 boys, and I love your Pumpkin Spelt Muffins recipe. Eating healthy is important to us and 100 Days of Real Food has great advice and recipes. Thanks for sharing your world by encouraging families to eat better.
