• Avoid giving out any candy combination of milk or white chocolate with nuts or peanut butter - they rank highest in calories and fats.
• Chocolate with mint or marshmallows has less fat and calories, as do caramels and non-chocolate candy such as licorice, taffy, lollipops and flavored fruit candies. However, these are cavity-makers and not very nutritious.
• Consider giving out small squares of dark chocolate with at least 70 percent cocoa, little boxes of organic raisins, organic granola bars, organic fruit wraps, or snack-size bags of air-popped popcorn.

While whole, fresh fruit is Dr. Weil’s healthy snack choice, skip this on Halloween – chances are some parents will throw it away as a safety precaution.
