Oh yeah, I’m going there. How to make your own Halloween candy from scratch.
Even though I am a big fan of cooking from scratch and making healthy alternatives, even I am not enough of a health nut to offer to my homemade treats to every random kid on the block. It takes too much time and is costly. Plus most of the neighbors would throw my hard work away, thinking I laced it.
I am, however, enough of a health nut to make sure that my kids get as many healthy replacements as possible.
Plus, it’s a good way to impress teachers, neighbors, in-laws, etc.

About Aubrey
I’m trying some of these recipes!
Let me know if you have any luck! I did the Tootsie Roll one but used almond butter in place of sunbutter. The texture wasn’t tootsie-rolly but it tasted fantastic
Are you handing any of these out? I can’t resist making the maple and nut butter ones! They look so good.
Since we’ll be out trick or treating ourselves we don’t hand out candy. I plan on making these for ourselves and our friends, but not for the neighborhood. I really want to try the Butterfinger replacements, those are my daughter’s favorites!
Wow, these look incredible! Thanks for sharing!
Wow…these are amazing! I have to try the mounds!
Yummy time
