Just because you’re not a kid anymore, doesn’t mean that Halloween is any less magical to you. In fact, All Hallows’ Eve is even better when you’re older because, er … alcohol. That said, hangovers truly are the worst. So, what’s the next best thing? Halloween treats, of course!

Problem is, similarly to booze, sugar gets harder and harder to process with each passing year. Sure, you can have a bite or two of a Snickers bar or, like, three skittles, but that’s just lame. Better yet, you should indulge in healthy snacks that actually taste good. (No, those things are not mutually exclusive.)

Scroll through the gallery below to check out what Halloween treats you should be munching on this spooky season!

1 of 10

SmartSweets Gummy Worms

Generally speaking, your average gummy worms are full of sugar. However, SmartSweets changed the game with their product. Each bag comes with new flavors blue raspberry and cherry, pink lemonade and peach and strawberry and pineapple available for the fall/Halloween season — and have 81 percent less sugar than your traditional gummy worms. They’re also keto-friendly!

PBfit Peanut Butter Powder

With 90 percent less fat and 1/3 the calories of traditional peanut butter, PBfit’s powder is perfect to blend, bake or mix with water for a traditional peanut butter paste. Plus, you can enjoy their pumpkin spice flavor for a limited time to really get into ~spooky season.~

3 of 10

Pumpkin Seeds

With only 150 calories per serving (¼ cup), pumpkin seeds are the perfect guilt-free Halloween treat. Plus, if you’re on the ketogenic diet, they won’t throw you out of ketosis! The total net carbs are 1 gram. Boo-yah!

4 of 10

Granola Bars

Keto trick or treaters, you’re going to have to sit this one out. However, for the rest of you, mini granola bars are a solid Halloween treat. There are 180 calories in three (not bad!) and are made with 100 percent whole grains. That said, they are a *wee* bit high in sugar because of the added candy pieces, so we don’t advise indulging too much.

Healthy Halloween Treats Pumkin Spice Granola

Pumpkin Spice Granola

If granola bars aren’t your thing, straight-up granola is also an option — especially if it’s pumpkin spice! So festive, right? This is 150 calories per serving (¼ cup) and has 11 grams of net carbs. If you’re keto, you may have to pass, but otherwise, throw this in some yogurt or with some milk (dairy-free, ideally) and if you’ve got yourself a great snack.

6 of 10

Veggie Chips

Are these not the cutest things you’ve ever seen? At just 70 calories and 8 grams of net carbs per bag, these sea salt ghost and bat chips are the ideal Halloween treat for adults. Yes, they’re made for children … but so what?! They have youth on their side and we don’t.

7 of 10

Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Seed with Sea Salt

Dark chocolate? Yes. Pumpkin seed? Double yes. Sea salt? Triple yes. Be warned, these barkTHINS are 100 percent a treat, so we don’t suggest going to HAM. However, at 230 calories per serving (1.4 ounces), you’ll definitely feel satisfied after snacking on them them. Sorry, keto folks, you’re out. Go grab a pumpkin-shaped steak instead.

8 of 10

Pretzels

Remember how mad you’d get as a kid when someone was handing out pretzels for Halloween? Yeah, well … things change. Get over it. At 50 calories a bag, pretzels — SHAPED LIKE PUMPKINS — are where it’s at this Halloween.

Dark Chocolate Almond Butter, Cashew Butter and Peanut Butter Cups

Last but certainly not least, healthy isn’t always about the caloric intake. In fact, quality ingredients are just as important. Enter: Justin’s. With two dark chocolate cups totaling 230 calories (for almond butter and cashew butter, peanut butter is 220), these are a treat for sure! Even so, your sweet tooth will be satisfied until next Halloween, we promise.

Healthy Halloween Treats Mini Dark Chocolate Almond Butter, Peanut Butter and Cashew Butter Cups

Mini White, Dark and Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Oh, and did we mention they come in mini sizes?! The only thing better than pumpkin-shaped food, is mini food … everyone knows that. The mini cups vary in nutritional facts. However, two mini dark chocolate cups are 150 calories. Not bad!
