It’s almost that time of year again! When candy and sweets come rolling in by the jack-o-lantern bucket full. Luckily at our house, we are too old to trick-or-treating, so the only candy that makes its way into these four walls is whatever the heck we go out and buy ourselves. Enter: Healthy Halloween Candy Alternatives. While I do love a good sweet treat, I don’t love sugar crashes or the havoc it wreaks on your body and health, in so many ways.
Luckily, health-conscious people just like you and I, realized there was a better way to satisfy their sweet tooth’s without so much sacrifice. Here, I’ve put together a list of my 4 favorite Healthy Halloween Candy Alternatives, that taste just like- or dare I say better than the originals but with WAY less sugar. Do a taste test with your household sugar lovers, I bet they’ll be surprised!

PROJECT 7
Project 7 and I have had a longterm love affair going for years now. Seriously, scroll through my instagram or check out the article and you can see the proof for yourself. With No Artificial Colors, Flavors or Preservatives and only 3 Grams of Sugar and 6g net Carbs Per Bag its pretty hard to get better than that. Not to mention they are ALL Vegan and give back to 7 different causes around the world.
TRY THEM IF YOU LOVE: Sweet or Sour Gummy Bears, Sour Fruit Gummies, Sour Apple Rings or Sour Gummy Worms, Red Licorice, Chewing Gum or Lollipops.

UNREAL
Really it’s all in the name. These deliciously rich fair-trade chocolate candies are truly UN-real. The founders were deprived of all sweets as children so they reinvented their favorite classics with simple organic, non-gmo project-verified ingredients and WAY less sugar and my lord, they did a smashing job.
TRY THEM IF YOU LOVE: M&M’s, Peanut M&M’s, Peanut Butter Cups, Almond Butter Cups, Caramel Peanut Nougat Bars, Chocolate Coconut Bars, and SO MUCH MORE!

SMART SWEETS
Tara started SmartSweets after her love affair with candy turned into an unhealthy relationship with food. She also experienced the negative effects excess sugar had on her health. So she quit college and bought a gummy bear mould and the rest is history! The brand also plays on traditional candy’s and flavors but in the world of all things fruity and gummy.
TRY THEM IF YOU LOVE: Cola Bottle Gummys, Gummy worms, RedVines, Sour Watermelon Bites, Fruity Gummy Bears, Peach Rings, Swedish Fish, Sour Patch Kids and classic lollipops.

LILY’S SWEETS
In 2010, a health-food lover named Cynthia decided to kick sugar, but couldn’t let go of chocolate. So she made her own no-sugar added chocolate and launched Lily’s Sweets with her longtime friend Chuck. They have a great line of various chocolates for baking and just launched gummy bears and sour worms, which I’m very excited to try.
TRY THEM IF YOU LOVE: Caramels, Chocolate Covered Nuts, Peanut Butter Cups, Baking Chocolate, Filled Chocolate Bars, White Chocolate Bars (Including Cookies & Creme), and luxury Extra Dark, Dark and Milk Chocolate bars too.
