It's that time of year again. The time when the sugar starts to flow like a fountain every where you look until Jan 1 and the onset of the New Year's Resolutions. If you are like me and raising your children using a Paleo diet template, or your kids have food allergies/sensitivities, or you are just generally trying to keep your kids healthier, you know this season is fraught with danger.
Last year I started this blog with my first post titled 3 Ways to Make Halloween Exciting For Your Paleo Kid. Everything in there is still valid so go check it out if you want some fun ways to package goodies for them to make it fun, including a video tutorial on how to make a pumpkin treat bag. But this year I wanted to address candy.
Candy is inherently not healthy, but if you make it without the high fructose corn syrups, artificial dyes, allergenic foods, etc it can become a lot better. And I'm not stupid, I have a 6 year old and I know he's going to parties and school events and seeing his friends get things he can't (the 3 year old is luckily still kinda clueless). I can't pretend it isn't happening and turn the other way. But if I can give him an alternative that he likes and that I think is ok, then it's a win win. So check out this list below from some of my Paleo blogger friends for ideas of portable Paleo Halloween candy to make for your kids (or you) – whether it's for when they go Trick or Treating and you need to trade out for the bad stuff, or to bring with if they go to a party or whatever.
