Cinderella, Spiderman, ghosts, goblins and witches may all come knocking on your door on Halloween looking for sweets.This year, consider mixing up the candy bowl with a variety of non-traditional but nutritious goodies such as:
Mini rice cereal bites
Packages of trail mix or nuts
Cereal bars
Small boxes of raisins
Small packages of dried fruit
Sugar-free gum
Mini juice boxes
Snack-size packages of peanut butter and crackers, graham crackers or oatmeal cookies
Or, instead of giving candy to your trick-or-treaters, consider non-food treats like Halloween pencils, pens, stickers, tattoos and spider rings.
