What treats can I pass out this Halloween that don't contain a lot of sugar?
I wouldn't do anything food, simply because a lot of people freak out over homemade treats for Halloween due to the safety issues of homemade stuff. I'd find unsharpened pencils from the dollar store and call it a day. Homemade stuff on Halloween will just get pitched by the parents anyway, so why bother?
