Fun & Healthy Halloween Treats

It's almost time for Halloween. Little ghosts and goblins will
be running through neighborhoods across the country, going
door-to-door, calling out the same three words, "trick or
treat!" Of course, they'll be hoping for and expecting treats.
This year, instead of handing out the usual candy treats,
consider trying an alternative. Here are some Halloween treats
the children will enjoy that won't leave them bouncing off the
walls:

* Small bags of pretzels or chips

* Mini-bags of microwave popcorn

* Fruit-Roll Ups

* Fruit juice snacks

* Small packages of nuts or sunflower seeds

* Individually wrapped beef jerky or Slim Jims

* Snack-size graham crackers, animal crackers or Goldfish
crackers

You could even consider non-food items. Here are a few:

* Stickers -- kids love stickers

* Halloween (or other cool, colorful) pencils

* Plastic whistles

* Spider rings

* Brightly-colored toothbrushes or flavored dental floss 

Be creative and help the children in your neighborhood have a
healthier Halloween!
