There is a commercial promoting Play-Doh Halloween packs as a healthier alternative to passing out candy. Smart idea, but I will say when I was a kid, if you got a box of raisins on Halloween, you warned all the other kids on the street about the "raisin house."

Granted, Play-Doh is more fun than raisins, but what is Halloween without the candy, right? Well, with concerns about childhood obesity higher than ever, would you feel guilty having a huge basket of candy instead of say, boxes of raisins? Are there other candy ideas that are more of a compromise, like mini dark chocolate kisses (for the antioxidants, of course)?

Check out these ideas for younger kids and tell us what you’re giving out for Halloween.
