Did you also check out my latest blog post, ” Why My Kids Eat Sugar” ? It may be a great eyeopener. Of course we follow the Yogic Diet, but it may be helpful to see the bigger picture. It was quite a struggle and there was lying and secrecy involved! We came a long way since then.

Nevertheless, we do not allow them just anything they want. If the kids have a desire and the pressure gets too high, we find a natural and healthier alternative. This way they can still enjoy the candy that their classmate had, the children in the books ate or what they see in the grocery store. It is just the natural version of it.

OUR RULES

The Yogic Diet allows some natural sugars, like honey or fruit (dried fruit, fruit juice). So we will do our best to find candies and treats that fit that description. That being said, we chose the 10 best natural halloween candies, following our own rules.

  1. No artificial coloring or additives
  2. Without high fructose corn syrup
  3. No gelatin (yuk)
  4. Organic gets a bonus point
  5. Fancy candy that turns out to be only fruit, gets you to the top!

1) BEAR fruit yoyos

Coming in on first place in our 10 Best Natural Halloween candies list, are these fruit strips. In my opinion, the best candy to give away on Halloween (or birthday parties). Long strips of rolled up sweet chewy candy. Which are in fact 100% only fruit. Vegan, gluten free and nut free. They look cute and are individually wrapped, who wouldn’t want to grab one of those?

2) Marshmallow

In case you want to make little ghost candies. Or maybe just because you really like marshmallows, do yourself a favor and skip the high fructose corn syrup and choose these healthier versions from Dandies. They are made without high fructose corn syrup and without gelatin. That gives us at least some peace of mind. And our kids liked them because they toast well too.

3) Gummy Bears

It is the bear shape that makes gummy bears so cute and attractive, isn’t it? If your Trick or Treaters expect these bears shaped candies with Halloween , at least choose these from Project 7. These gummy bears are made with less sugar and without artificial anything or gelatin. Project 7 makes a ton of tasty treats with less sugar and natural ingredients. However, not all of them are made without gelatin, so be ware.

4) Annies Organic Fruit Bunnies

These are a personal favorite and especially great for Halloween or parties. Tasty, cute little bunny candies flavored with fruit juice. Because they are packed in individual little packets great to hand out. Organic ingredients, so they get a BONUS POINT! All natural, gluten free, vegan and without high fructose corn syrup. Naturally, they deserved a place in our 10 best natural halloween candies list.

5) Coconut Chocolate Bar

Coconut on the inside and chocolate on the outside. Who doesn’t want that!? Obvisouly the original bounty bars are filled with artificial everything, so we were happy to find this natural – and bit less sweet – alternative.

6) Layered Chocolate Wafers

Number 5 in our list of 10 Best Natural Halloween Candies are crispy chocolate wafers. Made with FairTrade chocolate and sustainably sourced palm oil, these Little Secrets Chocolate wafers are not only all natural and made with less sugar. They give you peace of mind as well. Nothing Scary here!

7) UnReal Gems

The focus of UNREAL is to offer candies with natural colors and less sugar than conventional candies. That is one of the reasons, these are great chocolate candies to hand out with halloween. And these treats are individually packed so no germsy hands grabbing in a bowl of candies. A well deserved spot in our 10 best natural halloween candies list.

8) Organic Fruity Chewy Candy

These fruity chewy candies from Lovely are organic and that is worth a BONUS POINT, hurrah. Although, they do contain sugar, they are free of high fructose corn syrup. These candies have individual wrappers, which makes them easy to hand out. Another good reason to add to our 10 Best Natural Halloween Candies list. Furthermore, they are vegan, so no gelatin, non-GMO and gluten free.

9) Fruit sticks

Looks cute, check. All natural, check. No sugar added, check! These great fruit snacks are from Bob Snail. Coming in on 9th place in our 10 Best Natural Halloween Candies list, because these do not look like any conventional candies and aren’t natural alternatives of any popular or famous treats. Nevertheless, Children will grab these because they look so cute, though. Besides that, they are Vegan, Gluten free, Fat free, basically everything free, because it is just fruit.

10) Jelly Beans

Jelly Belly is definitely not known for its low sugar or all natural candy. Hence our very surprised faces and raised eyebrows when we came across their organic fruit juice flavored jelly beans. Although these treats are fruit juice flavored, they are not really very much lower in sugar than the conventional ones. However, what they did take out was corn syrup and artificial flavors and colors. The Jelly Belly Beans made it to the 10 Best Natural Halloween Candies list, nevertheless it is the lowest on number 10. No gelatin, thank goodness.
