Boo-yeah, Halloween enthusiasts! It's that time of year again when little goblins and ghouls come knocking, expecting a sugar rush that'll last till Christmas. But what if we told you there's a way to be the coolest house on the block without turning into the neighborhood candy dealer? Prepare to have your mind blown faster than you can say "trick-or-treat"!

We've conjured up a spellbinding list of treats that'll make kids forget all about those fun-sized candy bars. These alternatives are so good, you might find yourself sneaking a few before the trick-or-treaters arrive (we won't tell if you don't). Say goodbye to sugar-induced tantrums and hello to being the house that kids will remember long after the jack-o'-lanterns have turned to mush!

Catch 'Em All Instead Of Cavities By Handing Out Spooktacular Pokémon Cards

Review: "10 more packs than were included in the 2022 Halloween bags, and a lower price as well. The card selection is well-varied per pack, so you can give these away on Halloween night or buy a bag or two and attempt to collect all of the cards in the set. Either way, the kids get a kick out of them, and they are a nice addition to the 2023 card lineup overall." - Matt
