Healthy Candy Ideas for Christmas Stockings

Could you use a few healthy candy ideas for Christmas stockings?  

Personally, I’ve gotten away from including much candy in my boys’ stockings, but I do still like to slip in a few healthy-ish treats.  These also work well for Easter baskets or any other time you want to indulge more healthfully.

And by “healthfully” I mean with minimal artificial dyes, refined sugars, and preservatives.  While many of the options listed below do still contain sugar and even sunflower oil (which I try to avoid), they are better options than many standard candies on the market.

Do let me know of any healthy-ish options I’ve missed!

A few tips for reading ingredient labels:

• The fewer the ingredients, the better.
• The lower that sugar appears on the list, the better.
• “Syrup” = sugar.
• The darker the chocolate, the better.  Aim for at least 70% or even 80%-85%.
