I’m SO happy to finally see some Halloween ideas that do not involve food coloring! THANK YOU!!!! I keep all food dye out of our house and offer chocolate or fruit snacks (sans food dye) to satisfy a sweet tooth… yes, even for Halloween! We just toss the stuff they’re “allergic to” in the trash & keep the rest. I had to take a moment to thank you profusely for posting these, as I have 7 kids, ages 2-10, who will be thrilled to see some fun treats for our Halloween party! 🙂 I’m not as clever as you guys are on this site, and I would be ever so grateful if you had more ideas for holidays, or any time!, minus food coloring… **hint, hint**

Hi Lindsey!
Happy you stumbled upon this post and found it useful! My priority is to write posts on healthy snacks for all seasons and occasions that are heavy on fruits and veggies, void of artificial dyes, and to also offer recipes that are egg, dairy, and gluten free. It’s the focus of my website http://www.naturalgirldiary.com, so check it out if you get the chance since I know you’ll find lots of what you’re looking for to treat your kiddos there!
