Trick or Treat!To many of us, those words are terrifying. Not because of the ghosts and goblins wandering around. It’s because of the shocking amount of candy in our midst. All those horrifyingly unnatural artificial colors and flavors and preservatives, better suited for a mummy than a mommy.
Don’t get me wrong, I have very fond memories of sitting with my friends, sorting through our overflowing bags of trick-or-treating loot, picking out our favorites and trading the rest (“I’ll give you two Sugar Mamas for your Bonkers Chew”) and pigging out until our tummies hurt. I certainly don’t want to deprive my son of that fun but I also don’t want to completely give up my good-food ideals for one night of gluttony.
Whether you keep the little goblins and ghouls at bay with candy or you have another secret weapon (some folks swear by coins and toothbrushes!), don’t let the poor souls fall victim to mysterious ingredients. Have no fear, our stores carry Halloween candy and treats that live up to the high quality standards of all our products and don’t have any of that scary stuff.
