Halloween is right around the corner, where most of the population loads up on the dangerous high-fructose corn syrup & sugar-filled candy treats.

What can you give out to the neighborhood kids instead of original candy? Here’s a few suggestions:

• Boxed raisins or single-served pretzels
• Pumpkin, sunflower or other seeds
• Annie organic snack-packs
• Covered’ fruit like bananas or oranges
• Luna or Larabars

Readers, what are you putting in your Halloween ‘basket’ for the trick-or-treaters?
