'Tis the season to get spooky, right? Are you spooked by Halloween this year as you've become a more eco-conscious soul? Handing out individually wrapped treats from mega-corporations got you down? Having a little trouble deciding whether to just hand out the Hershey's bars with their non-organic chocolate, and all else?

Non-organic chocolate is full of pesticides and such, a less eco-friendly and healthy choice. Given the times -- and depending where you live -- the homemade option or simple piece of fruit might not be well-received, so these suggestions are individually wrapped in deference to safety and social mores. And be prepared for sticker shock: organic chocolate and such costs more than the supermarket brands. If you live in a very heavily trick-or-treat trafficked neighborhood like mine, this leap is going to cost you.

No guarantees that if you leap to organic chocolate or other more healthy "treats" the kids will favor your house. For that matter, plenty of parents may look a bit spooked by you, too! But there are more options than ever so you can try to put a new spin on Halloween treats, and I'll leave the tricks solely up to you.

Endangered species chocolate offers dark or milk chocolate squares specially packaged for Halloween with a break on a three bag purchase of $18.50, plus shipping of course. Lollipops are a non-chocolate option --and this site also offers hard candies that are individually wrapped. Fruit leathers are another healthy option to offer goblins and such. If you're not organized enough to order beforehand online, stores like Whole Foods now offer more Halloween options at their stores.
