Trick-and-treating is one of the best parts of Halloween—both for kids and the hosts. There’s nothing quite like seeing a smile on trick-or-treaters’ faces once they take the candy—but you’ll have to make the right choice to make them happy. If you’re not sure what to serve, here are three things you should keep in mind.
Homemade Treats
Giving out homemade treats has been going out of style in recent years, due to safety concerns raised by some parents. If you want to make some homemade Halloween cookies, don’t go overboard because many kids won’t take them, so it’s often better to stick to pre-packaged stuff.
Kids With Allergies
Some of the kids coming to your home this Halloween may be lactose intolerant or allergic to nuts or gluten. That’s why you should keep your candy choice as versatile as possible, and make sure it includes dairy, nut, and gluten-free options if possible.
Keep It Healthy
Trick-or-treaters will collect a bunch of unhealthy candy along the way, so why not try to make your selection a little bit better? Sugar-free candy, popcorn balls, dark chocolate, and chocolate-covered fruits are some of the delicious, yet healthy Halloween candy choices.
