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.

  • Love gummy fish? Try SmartSweets Sweet Fish Gummies. They have up to 92% less sugar than traditional candy—instead they're made with allulose, a sweetener naturally found in raisins that tastes candylike without acting like it.

  • Love fruit chews? Try YumEarth Organic Fruit Chewys. They taste just like the classic chews you know and love, but they're made without artificial flavors, dyes, or high-fructose corn syrup.
