Green Options

Now here’s a candy you don’t have to special order online or search high and low for. Necco Wafers can be found at most grocery stores in the candy aisle or currently in the Halloween candy section.

Necco Wafers have been around since 1847 but as a sign of the times they’ve gone “green”.

The 162-year-old Massachusetts company has taken Necco Wafers and made them “all-natural” which makes them the largest mass-produced candy line in the U.S. to get rid of artificial flavoring and colors.

Just because we enjoy an all natural (free of preservatives, colors and flavors) diet, doesn’t mean we can’t have a bit of candy every now and then.  

With Halloween nearly upon us, I have stocked up on better candy options.  When the kids come home from Trick or Treating, we will trade out their candy.  The collected candy will then be sent to the U.S. Military.
