What is Halloween without candy? I don’t think it’s Halloween at all.
You know my motto is never restricting when it comes to food so even on a holiday that is all about going into a sugar coma, I continue to be determined to enjoy it guilt free.
The reason we feel like crap after going ham on our kid’s candy stash is because, well – candy is full of crap! But that doesn’t mean you have to skip out on all candy and munch on carrot sticks instead. You can still have some chocolate and gummy worms, but just do so in moderation, or opt for the “healthier” versions.
If you are on the hunt for some better for you options, here’s a list of some of my favorite candy swaps for not only me, but also for my fam bam. Trust me, there is nothing guilty about these pleasures.
