A Greener Halloween Snack

If you’re like me, even the greenest intentions go out the window a little bit at this time of year. (I’m SAVING the kid from the candy by eating it FOR him, right?) But this year we’ll be handing out some tasty treats that also have decent green qualities.
Local organic foodmaker Nature’s Path (featured in a past GreenDeal blog on breakfast cereal) has brought organic ingredients and some fun packaging to the party with Envirokidz Lemur Peanut Choco Drizzle Crispy Rice Bars. If the funky monosyllabic name isn’t enough to whet your appetite, consider the goods inside: “a delectable pairing of chunky peanut butter and peanuts with chocolate drizzle”
And for Moms, almost everything inside is organic, from the brown rice flour to the chocolate icing.
Now, it’s not exactly carrot sticks. But it’s definitely a snack you can feel good about handing out.
