There’s something so nostalgic and comforting Halloween candy. We all grew up looking forward to the night of Halloween and coming home from trick-or-treating to take inventory of everything we got. Everyone has their favorites, and while everything is okay in moderation, a lot of prepackaged candy is exceptionally high in sugar as well as artificial flavors and preservatives. We have no interest in giving up candy, so we rounded up a few healthier copycat recipes for candies that you can create and enjoy all year long.
