Looking to slip past the sugar high that’s about to sweep the nation? Look no further than these simple swaps.
Candy Corn/Carrots
Enjoy that satisfying crunch without the sugar crash. Pack them up in Halloween-themed bags for extra kid points.
Gummy Candies/Sugarless Chewing Gum
Gum gives you that chewy texture. Keep it sugar free to help fight tooth decay, and you’ve gone above and beyond.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups/Apple Slices & Peanut Butter
This sweet and peanut butter-y combination hits all the right flavor notes without the empty calories.
Chocolate Candy Bars/Dark Chocolate Squares
Dozens of candy bar brands coming your way will bow to just a few squares of antioxidant-rich dark chocolate.
Cookies/Kettle Corn
Go for either homemade or store-bought skinny kettle corn in place of sugar-packed cookies.
Toffee/Trail Mix
Match the texture variety of toffee with homemade trail mix for significantly less sugar and even some nutrients.
Sour Candies/Frozen Grapes
Freeze some young grapes for a refreshing, sour-sweet treat that doesn’t stick to your gums.
