Halloween is a favorite holiday at our house. - it's ridiculous, but the house has already been decorated for a full week.   If you choose to celebrate it have you considered candy yet?

I lieu of candies loaded with corn syrup, preservatives and food coloring, consider some of these treats that are healthier, sometimes organic and still a hit with kids:

Yummy Earth Organic Lollipops: Definitely one of the more affordable options listed here.  Flavors include Pomegranate Pucker to Mango Tango. ($7.99 for about 60 lollipops) 

Sweet Earth Zebra Mints:  These would work for you if you have alot of trick-or-treating traffic - as they come in packages of 150 and are a bit pricey at that quantity.  An organic alternative to the traditional peppermint patty, with white and bittersweet chocolate flavored with peppermint essential oil. ($48)  

Annie's Organic Bunny Fruit Snacks:  My kids just tried these last week and they were a hit.  Could be an affordable Halloween treat if you don't get alot of kids ringing the bell.  Made from real fruit juice. ($4.50 for five packets) 

Clif Kid ZBar Spooky S'Mores:  Parents will appreciate this hearty snack.  Instead of a candy bar, these are chocolaty, sweet and made from organic whole grains. ($3.99 for six bars and available in most grocery stores)
