Halloween is definitely the time of year for both tricks and treats. For someone who is trying to eat healthy and stay healthy, it can be hard to avoid candy and other sugary treats. Try substituting them for something equally delicious. Pretzels for Halloween might be a great way to do that—and Unique Pretzels can help!
Unique Pretzels has been creating one-of-a-kind pretzels since the late 1800s. For six generations, we’ve baked every batch of our delicious pretzels with the same pride, care and high quality. It’s one of the many reasons that we’re unique!
Candy Substitutes for Halloween
Pretzels are a great fat-free food and an amazing snack option for adults and children alike. Our pretzels are made with all-natural ingredients from a recipe that was developed over 100 years ago.
If you’re looking for a healthy replacement for Halloween candy, set out a bowl of Unique pretzels at Halloween gatherings and watch them disappear—just like a Halloween trick. Or pass out our smaller bags to trick-or-treaters—our 2-ounce bags make great handouts!
Snack mixes are also an easy way to give kids and adults a little bit of candy with a lot of healthy snack. Mix Unique Pretzels “Splits” or “Shells” with things like:
- Candy Corn
- Chocolate pieces
- Popcorn
- Dried fruit
- Chex™ Mix
- Peanuts
Preparing these snack bags to take to school for a treat or in a lunchbox is also a great way to avoid overdoing it on sweets.
Unique Pretzel Snacking Varieties
Our Original “Splits” may work best for a snack mix, but other varieties are wonderful when set out in a bowl. Our Flavor Shocked Shells are a favorite among the younger crowd. This line of pretzels comes in the following flavors:
- Buffalo: When you need a little spice in your life, our Buffalo Flavor Shocked “Shells” can help! They have a buffalo seasoning that is very similar to traditional Buffalo wings. Grab the celery and enjoy!
- Honey Mustard: Mustard pretzels are a fan favorite for the big game, but they are great for any occasion. They pair well with peanuts and popcorn as well.
If you really want to hit a healthy homerun this Halloween, you could incorporate our Sprouted “Splits” and Shells into your party or get-together. These pretzels are made with Sprouted flour, so they are actually digested as if you are eating a vegetable—it’s the next best thing to getting your kids to eat their greens! Find them at Whole Foods, Giant, Fresh Market, and Wegmans.
Halloween may be time for candy and mayhem, but you can keep things healthy with the help of Unique Pretzels! Incorporate pretzels for Halloween and curtail the candy. Pick up Unique Pretzels at your local market or order them in our online store. Happy Halloween!
