The Best Healthy Halloween Candy, According to a RD
The 10 Best-Tasting "Healthy" Halloween Candies, Ranked by a Dietitian

Anything that includes real fruit as a main ingredient is already a winner in my book. And that's the case with Fruit Riot. These candies are basically frozen grapes that are coated with lemon juice and a sour coating, resulting in a frozen treat that delivers all the sweet/sour goodness of a Sour Patch Kid, but with a base of real fruit! Each serving contains 7 grams of sugar, with most of that coming from the natural sugars found in grapes. And y'all — these treats are SOUR!
I love the ingredients Fruit Riot uses and, as much as I may sound like a broken record, I have to reiterate how much I love the fact that these are made from actual fruit. (Fruit Riot also offers mango, pineapple, and flavored grape options.) And since they're frozen, this snack may be a great choice for people who have a habit of overeating treats, as eating too many at once will likely result in a brain freeze. The only reason these treats didn't get a higher rank is because they must remain frozen, so they aren't an ideal food to pass out on Halloween. But they are really good, especially if you are a sour candy fan.
