Here are some tips to help you choose the best treats to share with the neighborhood:
- The smaller, the better. Look for candy that's labeled as "fun size" or "mini."
- Buy value packs of sugarless gum and let trick-or-treaters each pick a pack.
- Take advantage of the portion control craze and hand out single serving or 100-calorie packs of snacks. (Shop at Price Club, Costco, BJs, or other warehouse stores to save money.)
- Can't resist chocolate? Select dark chocolate candy options like Hershey's Dark Kisses or Dark Chocolate M&Ms, or miniature Dove dark chocolates. The darker the chocolate, the more antioxidants.
- How about popcorn? Hand out microwave single serving "light" popcorn bags -- they're whole grain and kid-friendly.
- Select candy that's hard to binge on like lollypops.
