Halloween trick-or-treating is usually all about the candy. Generations of children have spent countless hours collecting, sorting through and trading their Halloween take to get the “good” stuff. But it’s not too late to save the teeth of today’s little goblins. Here are some spooky treats with zero calories and no sugar high. Look around the grocery or drug store next time you’re shopping and stock up on little toys like these. They may last a day or two longer than the candy.
