Top Ten Halloween Treats that Won't Cause Cavities

Great Halloween Treats for Trick-or-Treaters that Don't Include Candy

Breidi Caparatta
It is becoming more and more popular to dish out treats other than candy on Halloween when the trick-or-treaters come calling. Rather than filling the Halloween treat bags with candy, why not have the best treats on the block. Think back to when you were a child trick-or-treating. Remember which houses everyone always wanted to visit cause you knew they had the best treats? Why not be one of the kid's favorite trick-or-treating houses this year by having candy free Halloween treats! Need ideas that don't revolve around candy?

Trick-or-treaters would really think you rock if you filled their bags with temporary tattoos this Halloween. These temporary tattoos are relatively inexpensive and are a big hit with the kids. Temporary tattoos can be applied with a wet washcloth and won't give the kids cavities!

Another great Halloween treat that will have the trick-or-treaters lining up knocking your door down is free Frosty's from Wendy's. This is a great treat and a good way to shy away from candy but still give a dessert that the kids will love.

McDonalds sells gift certificates in books of 5 one dollar certificates. Even though this candy free idea will be a little more expensive, it is sure to be a HUGE hit with the trick-or-treaters. You can give each trick-or-treater a McDonalds dollar to use on whatever they like. With the new apple dippers and milk available instead of pop and French fries, McDonald's is becoming more and more kid friendly. Parents will love taking their trick-or-treater to spend their Halloween McDonalds money.

Fruit roll-ups or fruit snacks make perfect trick-or-treats for Halloween. These are small, snack size treats that are great for trick-or-treaters of all ages. You can purchase a box for as little as $1.50 and get anywhere from 6 to 10 treats per box. This is a non-candy treat all kids love.

Stickers make excellent trick-or-treat goody bag fillers. Children will enjoy receiving stickers this Halloween instead of candy. Stickers make great prizes for children as they can stick them in books or on personal items and they will last longer than just one day. Stickers make great Halloween treats rather than candy.

Trinkets such as spider rings and witch rings make great Halloween trick-or-treat gifts for children of all ages. These items can be purchased at local Dollar Stores, Wal-mart, or other neighborhood discount stores and are about the same price as candy. Kids will love receiving skeleton rings that glow-in-the dark or spider rings to scare their parents with this Halloween.

Plastic snakes make great treats for trick-or-treaters knocking at your door this Halloween. Plastic snakes keep with the Halloween spirit and can be used for pranks on siblings and relatives throughout the year. Plastic snakes will scare away the cavities this Halloween.

Visit a local movie store and purchase Free Children's Movie Rental Cards to distribute to your trick-or-treaters this Halloween. Movies are a great way for children and parents to spend time together aside from just Halloween. You will quickly become the talk of the neighborhood when you give out Free Movie Rentals to the children on Halloween this year.

Crayons and a photo copies color page make great Halloween gifts. You can purchase large boxes of crayons and put a few crayons in a plastic baggie along with a Halloween color sheet. It really doesn't matter what colors each child gets since most kids have crayons at home also. It is a neat idea that doesn't include candy.

Visit a local Wal-mart and purchase sets of party favors to give out this Halloween in lieu of candy. Kids will enjoy playing with the little toys more than they would enjoy eating candy. The toys will also last much longer.

No matter what you choose to give out to the trick-or-treaters that come knocking at your door this year, consider a candy free Halloween surprise. The vast majority of people will stick with tradition and give out candy that will be gone in a few days. Give your trick-or-treaters something they will remember after Halloween is over. Go candy free this Halloween!
