Halloween is in a couple days. Can you believe it? I hope you haven't been procrastinating and have a nice stash of candy to give out to the kiddos.
You wouldn't procrastinate, would you? 😉
As you know, Halloween is probably the second most favorite holiday for kids. People shoving candy into your hands is a dream come true for most kids — for parents not so much. As parents, we worry about our children's health and candy does not help that. The last thing my boys need to be doing is scarfing down tons of candy. It's not good for them or for their teeth (that they have to be reminded to brush).
PRI Manuka Honey Snacks
However, what if there was a healthier treat you could hand out for Halloween? I'm so happy to introduce Manuka Honey by Pacific Resources International to you. Manuka Honey is the purest honey on the planet — produced from environmentally protected bees and flowers in New Zealand.

PRI makes all kinds of honey snacks with this amazing honey — candies, chocolates, and lollipops. You may be asking yourself why is this better than other treats? For starters, there are NO artificial flavors, colors, corn syrup, refined sugars or preservatives. That's a pretty good start, huh? Then to top it off, honey offers many benefits of its own.
Raw honey is packed full of antioxidants, can help digestive issues, and are filled with phytonutrients. Phytonutrients are plant nutrients that have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Manuka Honey is definitely a healthier alternative to sugar!
Less bad is good, right?
Plus during this time of year, it can't hurt the kiddos to eat something that can help upper respiratory infections. You know those germs are just waiting to attack.
Here are a few PRI Manuka Honey snacks that will make the kids (and parents) smile.
Salted Manuka Honey Caramels
These all natural soft caramels are made with real butter and molasses, pure vanilla, and blended with genuine Manuka Honey and Organic Sea Salt. Finally, ingredients I can actually pronounce! They are a great spin on a classic treat — with all the benefits of Manuka Honey plus they are gluten-free. SO tasty too!
Manuka Honey Nuggets
These are healthy natural energy honey snacks — not that many kids need energy.
I say just keep these for yourself! Mommy needs energy 😉
Manuka Honey Nuggets are made with Manuka Honey 5+ and come in three fantastic flavors: Manuka Honey, Lemon & Honey, and Ginger. I am a huge fan of the traditional Manuka Honey flavor. A perfect morning pick-me-up or whenever (I'm always tired). Heck, it's great to throw into my hot tea too!
Manuka Honey Dark Chocolates
Can you say yum? These bad boys are only made with three ingredients. Yes, you heard me — THREE! Just pure Manuka Honey, 99% Cocoa, and Peppermint make up this simple yet delicious treat. The filling is divine! They are also gluten free, dairy free, and kosher 🙂
Manuka Honey Sticks
Okay, I know this isn't candy or even really a honey snack but I don't think the kids would complain. They are still just as easy to take on the go and make a nice lunch box treat. It'll give their immune system that extra boost to fight off those nasty school germs!
Children's Strawberry & Manuka Honey Lollipops
I just have to mention these natural fruit flavor throat soothing lollipops too even though they don't fall under honey snacks. However, they are great to give to kids that are showing any symptoms of a “bug”. Coughing, sneezing — you name it. They will soothe your child's throat and help fight off infections!
There you have it — a super easy way to make Halloween a bit healthier. Come back Friday November 2nd to check out a yummy recipe featuring PRI Manuka Honey. It's a perfect Fall treat I know you will love!! Plus you'll have a chance to win your very own set of PRI Manuka Honey products 🙂
We make halloween healthier by donating most of our candy instead of eating it all. We just keep a few things we like.
That’s a neat idea. Where do you donate it to?
I have for years gave out toys, little rings, little cars and stuff instead of candy this way I don’t eat a bag full of candy because I’m diabetic on insulin.
That’s a great idea! My boys got some play-doh this year which was fun
This is a great healthy halloween treat! I’m diabetic and I would love to try the Manuka Honey.
I hope these are a treat you can have!
(Making Halloween Healthier with PRI Manuka Honey Snacks #ShopPRI #ManukaHealth) These would all be good to have for keeping my family healthy this winter. I hate getting sick.
I hate getting sick too, June! Hopefully, it will be a healthy winter season for everyone!!
For our Boo Party this year, I tried to offer more healthy alternatives in addition to the typical delicious and unhealthy standards. Surprisingly, it was nice to see a lot of folks went for the fresh fruit!
Fruit is always good in my opinion. My boys love it!
These look really good. We always are looking for ways to make treats healthier. We will have to give these a try.
The best part about these treats is that they are premade and ready to go. Plus taste GREAT!
Honestly, I try to give kids what they want at Halloween: good candy. I do always have other items for kids with allergies, like organic gummies or even little toys. Last year, I had little bracelets with emojis on them. The poop emoji was very popular, lol.
I don’t know why kids like the poop emoji LOL. We had some people give out glow bracelets…I liked those.
I halloween can be fun and healthy. There are tons of recipes and ideas on making healthy Halloween treats. I saw many on here.
Totally agree!! It’s all about limits and thinking smart as usual 🙂
Their products look so delicious. We live “off the beaten path” so we don’t get trick or treaters. But I know I would love these!
They taste amazing! My son really likes the ones that resemble peppermint patties even though they are dark chocolate.
I try to make Halloween healthier by handing out pretzels to trick or treaters. I also limit how much candy can be eaten per day.
I limit the candy afterward too. I treat it as a dessert and they only can choose a couple of pieces.
We try to keep a jar of manuka honey in our house just for in case someone isn’t feeling well. Healing properties of Manuka honey are well noted.
That’s great to hear! Manuka honey can do wonders
I try to make Halloween a little healthier by have cute snacks like clementine pumpkins or veggies arranged in a cool way.
I think the clementine pumpkins are adorable! Great for kids
We made a vegetable platter this Halloween that looked like a pumpkin. We used carrots for the pumpkin face, black olives for the eyes and nose, cucumbers for the mouth, and cucumbers for the stem. It was our attempt at a healthier snack alternative for Halloween.
The platter sounds totally cute! I’ll have to do that if I ever have a Halloween party
These would be perfect treats to have for Halloween, not just trick-or-treaters, but available for the weeks before and after that everyone is in a “treat” mode!
SO true, Rosie! My kids are loving them!!
These candies look good. I love that they are made with honey.
They are super tasty too!
