POLL: What's Your Stance on Healthy Halloween Treats?

Do pretzels and raisins constitute a treat or are they more like a Halloween trick?

 

Candy has long been synonymous with Halloween.

However, trick-or-treaters often encounter a household or two that offers up granola or apples instead of skittles and snickers when costumed kiddos ring the doorbell.

Teaching children the importance of nutrition is a critical lesson for every day of the year. But is Halloween a special exception, where fruits and vegetables should take a back seat while sugar reigns supreme?

Patch wants to know: are healthy Halloween snacks a trick or a treat?
