Healthy Foods, stuff you could give kids before going trick or treating.

Don't let your kids go out trick-or-treating hungry. You don't want them to snack on the treats until you get a chance to examine them.

Knowing your kids are going to overindulge in junk foods for the next few days, you may want to incorporate healthy foods at your party or before the kids start going door to door.

Peanuts (use care here because of severe allergies)
Trail Mix
Sugarless gum/candy
Popcorn
Pretzels
Sugarless Cider or Hot Cocoa
Cheese and crackers
Roasted Pumpkin seeds
Apples, oranges and even other fruits.
