Halloween Candy Hacks!

Halloween is upon us again, and although we love a good candy bar, the thought of endless piles of sugar has us spooked! So join us in saying BOO to processed treats and instead indulge in candy that tastes and makes us feel good. Here are our team’s favorite Halloween candy picks and the recipe hacks that will give you a sweet experience with less refined sugar thanks to wholesome Medjool dates.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups 

We agree that this is the simplest candy to replicate, so if you just make one swap this year, it should be this one. It’s our favorite Pumpkin Peanut Butter Cups (bonus: there’s pumpkin…need I say more?). These are scary easy to make and everyone loves them!

Snickers

Peanuts, chocolate, and caramel-y goodness, oh my! Don’t settle for palm oil and artificial flavoring when you can get all the irresistibly sweet and salty flavor you love in a Snickers with this Snickers Stuffed Dates recipe!

Turtles

This fang-tastic treat doesn’t need corn syrup and artificial flavors to taste delicious, thanks to Medjool dates! These Pecan and Medjool Date Caramel Clusters are the perfect treat to satisfy your sweet tooth, and are a major upgrade for the original.

Almond Joy 

If you can’t resist the chewy, sweet, and nutty combination of Almond Joys, you’ll scream for this Almond Joy Stuffed Date recipe. They’re naturally sweetened with Medjool dates and dipped in dreamy dark chocolate. Because of the Medjool dates’ natural size and shape, these also look just like the beloved candy bar!

Mummy Dates

Enjoy the sweet and salty flavors of these spooky, peanut butter filled, Mummy Chocolate Covered Dates!
