Keep the magic. Lose the junk.

Dear PERK Families,

Halloween is two weeks away, and for a lot of parents that means one familiar question: what do we do about the candy?

We want our kids to have Halloween. The costumes. The trick-or-treating. Dumping the whole bag out on the floor, sorting it, trading with siblings, and eating more candy than they normally would.

But then you read the labels. Artificial colors. Corn syrup. Huge amounts of sugar. The same ingredients many of us work hard to avoid the rest of the year.

That's why PERK has partnered with Tricked by the Treat this Halloween because they are solving a problem we think a lot of parents have.

Two moms, one better idea

Tricked by the Treat was created by two moms, Jenn and Camille, who didn't want to choose between protecting their kids' health and protecting their kids' Halloween.

Their kids still go trick-or-treating like everyone else. They still come home with the giant bag of candy. Then the Switch Witch arrives and swaps that candy for a bag of better treats, and the swap becomes part of the Halloween adventure.

Not sad "healthy" substitutes

The Healthy Halloween Variety Pack includes 35+ treats from brands kids actually get excited about: chocolate, crispy treats, gummies, fruit treats, lollipops, gum, and Swedish candy.

Jenn and Camille spent months reading labels to find treats without many of the artificial colors, corn syrup, and other ingredients parents are trying to avoid. And when Tricked by the Treat compared 10 of its treats with the conventional candies they replace, its options averaged more than 51.5% less sugar.

But do the kids like it?

That's the part that matters most. A healthier Halloween doesn't mean much if your child feels like you took Halloween away.

Here's what kids said after trying it last year:

"Halloween last year was the best ever. I ate so much candy and I never get to do that. It was so fun."

"In the past my mom has been really strict about Halloween candy, but last year she wasn't because it had all good ingredients. I've never seen my mom happier on Halloween."

"I loved every piece of candy in that bag."

No more "put that one back." No more rationing the bag until Thanksgiving. Just kids enjoying Halloween, and parents who feel good about what's in it.

Your family, your choice

At PERK, we believe parents, not institutions, are best positioned to decide what goes into their children's bodies. Sometimes that work happens in Sacramento and Washington. Sometimes it happens at the kitchen table on October 31. This is one simple way to make that choice without giving up the fun.

Orders need time to ship, so if you want your pack in hand before Halloween night, don't wait.
