But if you're going for the real deal, Levinson says that whatever you choose for a Halloween handout will be more about you — not the kids ringing your bell. “If you’re a mom who feels better not giving something with artificial flavors and there are choices with a naturally occurring dye or flavor, and if it’s in your budget and you can afford it and find it — go ahead.
As for the healthier Halloween candy picks? In an earlier article, dietitians gave high marks to Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers and snack-sized Reese Peanut Butter Cups because they're individually wrapped and have a small amount of protein and even fiber.
