How To Have A Candy Free Easter With Wonderful Halos

March 19, 2018 by Kelly 88 Comments

This is a sponsored post and I received compensation. However, all opinions are mine. I know most kids love candy, gum and chocolate, but mine don’t. They could take it or leave it. Henry will eat the occasional peanut butter cup, but otherwise, he isn’t a sweet eater. When Easter comes, kids all over the planet look forward to their Easter baskets. Instead of candy, my kids always got healthy snacks, stickers, and activities.

I prefer to see my kids spend hours playing with a fun craft they got in their basket. I would also prefer to see them snacking on something healthy to eat like a few Wonderful Halos than a ton of chocolate. Wouldn’t you? My kids have been fans of Wonderful Halos California grown mandarins for years. Even as teenagers, it is a snack they ask for in their lunches or when we travel.

How To Have A Candy Free Easter With Wonderful Halos

Wonderful Halos are Mother Nature’s naturally sweet snack kids and grown-ups alike love. They are convenient, tasty and healthy, and always a good snack choice. They are a favorite for us because they are seedless and easy to peel, and free of common allergens. This is important to me, especially with Henry and his allergies.

You can find Wonderful Halos at your local grocery store in the produce department. You can also find them in select markets via Amazon Fresh. We buy a 5-lb box once a week and usually run out before it is time to shop again the next week! Wonderful Halos are the sweet snack you can feel good about buying for your family! They are in season November through May, so there is plenty of time to enjoy them!

I encourage you to swap out the traditional candy in the kid’s Easter basket this year. Give them something you will love to give and they will love to eat! Those amazingly juicy and sweet Wonderful Halos mandarins. And to make things even more wonderful, you can visit the Wonderful Halos website for Easter crafting and party treat ideas! I love the cute Halos Easter Buddy craft!

    I enjoyed reading about celebrating Easter without candy, chocolate and sugar snacks. Instead of all the nasty candy and chocolate in children’s baskets. Parents and grandparents are filling their loved ones Easter baskets with HALOS. Yes, they’re filling the baskets with fruit, stickers, crafts, and games. The children love their healthy Easter baskets filled with good treats and snacks.
