Treats for Halloween

As Halloween approaches and the stores fill with aisles of candy, many people look at us strangely and ask "Since you don't eat artificial colors and flavors, what do you eat for Halloween?"This is a fair enough question, especially if they're looking to treat my kids :o)

This is a sampling of treats that I found today at Wal-Mart. Our very favorite is the bag of Linette Peanut Butter Cups. Inside this bag they are individually packaged for Halloween (and since they aren't such a well-known name brand, they cost less!)

Other treats are Honey Teddy Grahams, and Utz Pretzels (Bats and Jacks). Both FG, stage 1.

My oldest DD loves Mary Jane Peanut Butter Kisses. These are only available at Halloween. The little rectangular shaped ones are not approved for the Feingold Program.

I also found some Stauffer's Original Animal Crackers. I'm not sure if the individual bags are decorated for Halloween, but they're FG approved stage 1!

The last treasure at Wal-Mart were the large bags of tiny raisin boxes. Raisins are stage 2 (a higher salicylate). Last year my DC weren't able to eat raisins. But since we followed the SCDiet for several months last spring we have been able to add salicylates back into our diet. So along with being FG approved stage 2, raisins are also SCD legal. Truly a treasure :o)
