Here are some great Candy Alternatives For Halloween. Not all kiddos can have candy, but it's so fun to get a treat – here are a bunch of neat ideas!
15 Fun Candy Alternatives For Halloween
Trick or Treat can be such a FUN time to dress up in costumes and get some treats! BUT, it stinks if you have a kiddo who is sensitive to certain Halloween candies or can't have a lot of sugar and there's nothing for them as you walk up to a home.
These are also great ideas for school parties if you need to put together goodie bags that are food allergy-friendly. Here are 15 super neat candy alternatives for trick-or-treaters that won't break the bank!
Non-Candy Ideas for Halloween
1. Puzzles
There are a lot of options available, but I love that these are more of a combo of a regular puzzle and a Rubiks cube. How fun!
2. Light Up Rings
Spooky rings tend to be a classic for candy alternatives! This comes in a pack of 50 so you don't have to worry about running out.
3. Bouncy Balls
These glow in the dark, too!
4. Glow Bracelets / Necklaces / Critters
This fun set has both glow necklaces AND critters in it so the kiddos can have a choice!
5. Non-perishable snacks
Fun snacks that aren't candy!
6. Slime
This will certainly be a hit this year with the popularity of slime! There are a LOT of different varieties of this – love that they're small sizes too 🙂
7. Wind Up Toys
These little guys are so adorable and “walk” all over! Grab it in a pack of 12 for a great addition to your bowl.
8. Halloween Friendship Bracelets
I think these friendship bracelets are just TOO cute! And what fun for kids trick or treating in pairs to get them and have one in black and one in orange!
9. Play Doh
These come in a cute Halloween themed bag, too!
10. Erasers
These have a ton of fun designs, too!
11. Hair Scrunchies
Use these as either a headband or a wristband – it works for both!
12. Pencils
They'll make school time a little more fun, too – I'm sure teachers won't mind! 😉
13. Glow in the Dark Temporary Tattoos
These are so fun!
14. Mini-Legos
15. Coloring Books
These items are fun for all ages, and even though they're Halloween-themed, you can always use them once the season is over.
I hope you can use some of these candy alternatives for Halloween! You might also want to put out a teal pumpkin so parents of kiddos that can't have candy know that you have an alternative for their child. I think kids love seeing the different candy Halloween treats and glow sticks too! Â

I like to give out small bottles of water. Folks get thirsty running from house to house.
