Halloween: Keepin’ it Healthy

I do a pretty good job controlling my obsession with sweets, but this time each year – with Halloween just around the corner and the holidays quickly approaching – I find it’s difficult to escape the temptations around us. And it never fails that I’ll end up with a bowl full of Halloween snacks that didn’t get handed out. I’m trying to hold fast to the mantra of moderation when it comes to enjoying these holiday sweets. If not, I’ll at least be partaking in options from this list of healthier food choices for trick-or-treaters. Most of these options can be purchased in large quantities at any store.

• Dark chocolate
• Mini-pretzel packs
• Cheese/peanut butter and cracker packages
• Trail mix
• Yogurt-covered raisins
• Mixed nuts
• Mini-bags of popcorn (unpopped)
• Dried fruit
• Fruit cups
