My Recs for Halloween Treats
Halloween candy is something kids look forward to, but have you ever taken a closer look at what's actually in it?
Beyond the sugar, many popular candies contain artificial food dyes, preservatives like TBHQ and BHT, high-fructose corn syrup, and flavor blends that don't fully disclose what's inside. Some artificial food dyes have been linked to behavioral changes in certain children, while other additives raise concerns about long-term exposure and ingredient transparency.
The good news is that there are alternatives made with simpler ingredients, including options without artificial dyes, certain preservatives, or high-fructose corn syrup. I've put together some Halloween candy recommendations to help you find treats with better ingredients while still letting kids enjoy the holiday.
