Why Do We Give Candy at Halloween?
Halloween means candy…lots of it. Americans spent $2.75 billion on candy just for Halloween alone.
But you don't really need to spend so much on store-bought candies because you can easily make them yourself at home. Instead of indulging in overly processed, sugar-filled treats, try making these candy recipes with your kids.

2. Homemade Gluten-free Vegan Kit Kat Bars
Kit Kat is a fantastic treat, but you might want to try a healthier alternative. The best thing about this Fork & Beans Kit-Kat inspired treats is you can easily prepare them in under 30 minutes.
