Why not plan ahead for a healthier and greener Halloween this season?

With these delicious Halloween treats, kids won't even realize that they are good for them—and better for the planet!

  • Chocolate Dreams: Organic Dark Chocolate Bites include many Fair Trade Certified™ ingredients including organic cocoa liquor, Syramena™ organic raw cane sugar, organic cocoa butter, and Sucanat™ organic unrefined whole cane sugar.

  • Variety Pack: Sweet Earth Organic Chocolates offer colorful Halloween pre-wrapped mixed bags of organic and fair-trade chocolates for trick or treaters.

  • Sucker-Free Suckers: Yummy Earth Lollipops and Candy Drops include healthful ingredients like organic evaporated cane juice, non-GMO citric acid (from beet sugar, not corn), organic black carrots, blackcurrant and apple. Cool flavors include Blood Orange Cocktail, Chili Lime Lambada, Ginger Zest, and Pomegranate Pucker.

  • Happy Hemp Day: Ruth's Hemp Bars are protein rich, GMO-free, contain no refined sugar or trans fats, and based on feedback from Ruth herself, kids love them! Ruth recommends Cranberry Almond, Chocolate Raspberry or Peanut Butter for the wee ones.

Push the spirit of Halloween even further: Help cocoa farmers by handing out candy that promotes fair trade. Check out the details on reverse trick or treating.
