Sophie’s Halloween Treat Picks
Whether it's a chocolate peanut butter cup, a fruit chew, or a classic gumball, everyone loves their sweet treats! Unfortunately, a lot of candies on the market are made with questionable, genetically-modified ingredients and artificial flavors and colorings.
Fortunately, there are a BUNCH of amazing people + companies that have created super yummy candies with safe, high-quality ingredients, as well as options for vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and soy-free eaters. So this October 31st, fill your kiddies' pillow cases + Halloween bags with these Philosophie-approved chocolatey, coconutty, + fruity treats!
And if you like to create your own spooky treats, bake these Simple 6-Ingredient Raw Brownies (+ use pumpkin cookie cutters) OR pop out these Berry Bliss Philosopops (+ wrap the tops with white fabric squares, tie orange and black ribbon right below the pops, and stick on googly eyes to create Ghost Pops)!
CHOCOLATEY
Boom Choco Boom Bars - Dark chocolate, but soy-free, dairy-free, + gluten-free—love to stash these in my bag for an after lunch or dinner treat!
Missy J's Vegan PB & J Carob Cups - Mmm! These cups have all the yumminess of the lunchbox staple combined with the cocoa-like flavor of carob, which is packed with pectin, a soluble fiber!
Dark Chocolate Sun Cups - If you or your kiddies like Reese's (like my little Leo), but need gluten-free, nut-free, and soy-free candy options, these Sun Cups are the way to go! They're made with dark chocolate + sunflower seeds and taste divine!
Heavenly Organics Honey Pattie, Chocolate Almond - Organic, gluten-free, + dairy-free chocolatey goodness made with white Himalayan honey, organic Italian dark chocolate, + bitter almond extract. YUM-MY!
OCHO Caramel & Peanut Bar - This one's for all you PB lovers! This 100% organic bar has caramel, chocolate, peanuts, + PB nougat.
COCONUTTY
Mahalo Candy Bar - What could be better than a vegan, gluten-free bar with coconut, chocolate, + almonds? Love that the ingredients are ethically sourced too!
Nutiva O'Coconut Hemp & Chia - These organic, fair-trade snacks are full of coconut flakes (including energy-boosting medium-chain triglycerides!), chia seeds, and hemp!
FRUITY
Tree Hugger Jumbo Gumballs Tube - Chicle from the chicozapote tree created WITHOUT artificial flavors and colors. We like this tube because you get to try the tangerine, classic bubble gum, orange, lemon-lime, and berry flavors!
Surf Sweets Watermelon Rings - Summer's gone, but these yummy watermelon rings can be enjoyed anytime of the year and are made with NO artificial colors, flavors, or corn syrup!
Yum Earth Organics Gummy Worms - These awesome creepy crawlies come in Pomegranate Pucker, Mango Tango, Perfectly Peach, + Strawberry Smash and are Kai + Leo's ABSOLUTE FAVES.
Clif Kid Z Fruit - "Rope" made from organic + gluten-free fruit puree concentrate—the Fruit Punch rope is our favorite!
Tru Joy Organic Fruit Chews - These lemon, cherry, orange, + strawberry fruit chews are so yummy + free of corn syrup, hydrogenated palm kernel oil, artificial flavors, and coloring! (And a big hit with Kai!)
365 Everyday Value Organic Very Berry Fruit Strip - These Whole Food fruit strips make a great emergency snack and aren't nearly as leathery as other fruit "leathers." This one is a tasty combo of cranberries, raspberries, blueberries, + strawberries!
