6 Delicious Candy Swaps for a Healthier Halloween
December 15, 2023
Sure, spooky movies and pumpkin carving are great—but we all know that Halloween is actually all about the treats.
Though the sweets are easy to love, the sugar rush (and crash) and icky feelings that come with them are not. That’s why we only stock goodies that meet our Root Standard: nutritious, made from trusted ingredients, and free from high-fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oils, and artificial stuff like colors and sweeteners.
So if you’re looking to have a healthier Halloween while still enjoying your favorite treats, look no further. We’ve got swaps for all the classics that are perfect for celebrating the season deliciously.
