OCTOBER IS UPON US AND IT’S TIME TO GET THE CARVING UTENSILS READY! Halloween candy, however, isn’t as simple. Most are filled with corn syrup and artificial dyes, which I try to keep out of the kiddos diet. It took a little digging and reading up on ingredient labels, but I’ve been able to find clean candy swaps for the classics that I can feel good about putting out for the trick or treaters. Read on for a few riffs on the classics that are FREE of offenders like chemical additives, gelatin and artificial colors and sure to satisfy the kiddos sweet tooth and yours too :)! (Remember: We’re talking about candy so they are definitely a treat and meant to be fun and indulgent!)
