Equal Exchange
Equal Exchange's Organic Chocolate Minis are the perfect size to hand out on Halloween, and they do not contain any GMOs. They are available more easily in the US, and can be bought from their website and Natural Candy Store, and some of your local shops could potentially carry them. You can also buy them from Natural Candy Store if you live in Canada, but you will be subject to some hefty shipping charges.Endangered Species
Endangered Species Organic Bug Bites, Dark Chocolate Halloween Squares and Organic Chimp Mints are Non-GMO Project verified chocolates that are great for trick-or-treating. Again, these are more easily come by in the United States, and can be ordered from their website, Amazon, and Natural Candy Store, and they may be available in some local stores. These can also order these online if you live in Canada, but the shipping is, unfortunately, expensive to the Great White North. *Please note that not all of their products are non-GMO verified, so look for the seal.Unreal
Unreal makes non-GMO, real food alternatives to some of your favourite chocolate. They've remade Snickers, Mars Bar/Milky Way, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Smarties, and M&Ms. Their candy is available in over 30,000 stores across the US, or you can order it online from Amazon. To you folks in Canada, you unfortunately won't be able to purchase any unless you have friends in the US who like you a lot. I'm sure hoping I do haha!Justin's
Justin's makes a 10-count bag of individually wrapped peanut butter cups, which are GMO-Free, certified organic candy that you can feel confident handing out this year. They are available nation-wide at Whole Foods during the month of October. You can also buy the single serving bags online at Amazon here, or here, and at Natural Candy Store. Available only online to Canadians, if you don't mind paying lots for shipping.Sun Cups
Sun Cups are definitely worth a mention here, as they are nut free, gluten free, and Non-GMO-Project Verified. You can use their store locator to find a store near you, or you can purchase them online from their website or Natural Candy Store. Sorry, my fellow Canadians, you cannot get these either unless, again, you don't mind paying for shipping.Beanito's
Beanito's Bean Chips cover two of my top priorities in buying chips - they are Non-GMO Project Verified, as well as MSG free. They have a store locator, with which you can find a store near you to buy some, or you can get 24 packs of the 1.5oz snack-sized bags online from Amazon or Snack Aisle. These, to my knowledge, are only available in the United States.Garden of Eatin'
Garden of Eatin' makes organic, and often Non-GMO Project Verified products. They have 1.5oz snack sized bags available online at their store here, and here, as well as on Snack Aisle and Amazon. I know that Garden of Eatin' chips are purchasable in stores in Canada, though am not sure if they will be selling snack sized bags around Halloween. You can also purchase them online, but with high shipping prices as usual. United States residents can also check local retailers for these chips.Plocky's
Plocky's makes GMO-Free hummus chips in 1oz bags, perfect for handing out. You can go to their website to find stores near you, or they can be bought online from Avacobella, Amazon, and Snack Aisle. Canadians are, unfortunately, not able to purchase these unless they pay lots of shipping. Not sure what shipping charges are like on Avacobella, though.Pure Fun
Pure Fun makes lots of little GMO-Free candies and suckers/pops that would be perfect for trick-or-treaters. You can find a list of distributors in the United States and Canada here, and these candies can also be purchased online from Amazon or Candy Connexion.Yummy Earth Organics
Yummy Earth Organics makes GMO-Free lollipops that the ghouls on your doorstep are sure to love finding amongst their treats. You can shop locally at the stores listed here, or they can be bought online from their website, Amazon.ca, Amazon.com, iHerb, Lucky Vitamin, DrugStore.com, and Well.ca. Not all of the candy by Yummy Earth Organics will be non-GMO, so I recommend and urge you to check the ingredients list on the product you are wanting to buy from them to double check. Well.ca has free shipping on orders over $25 (not sure if this applies to residents of the United States).Surf Sweets
Surf Sweets makes organic, and some Non-GMO Project Verified, candy snack packs, which would be easy to hand out on Halloween. These treats can be found in the stores listed here, as well as online from the sites listed here. Surf Sweets are available online in the US, Canada, and Australia.Glee Gum
I used to love chicklets as a kid, so was delighted to find a Non-GMO Project Verified alternative to an old favourite. They make a mini-pack variety that is perfect for Halloween. Widely available for purchase in-store in both Canada and the US, as well as purchasable online from their website, Amazon, and Well.ca.Nature's Path
If you're looking for a slightly healthier option to hand out this year, why not try Nature's Path granola bars? Their bars are at least certified organic, if not Non-GMO Project Verified. Find retailers in the United States here, and retailers in Canada here, or you can shop online from their website, Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, and Well.ca.Glutino
Glutino is a gluten-free company who also makes some organic and Non-GMO Project Verified products, as well as some non-GMO products that are in the process of being verified. A list can be found here. Their Pretzel Snack Packs, Breakfast Bars, and Organic Bars would make great, somewhat healthy, non-GMO alternatives for Halloween hand-outs. Glutino products are widely available in-store across Canada and the United States, as well as online at Well.ca, Amazon.ca, and Amazon.com.Annie's Homegrown
Annie's makes Non-GMO Project Verified fruit snacks, as well as certified organic Orchard Fruit Bites and granola bars (that I also believe to be non-GMO, just not verified), that are also some 'non-candy' alternatives for trick-or-treaters. These products can be purchased in many major retailers in both Canada and the United states, as well as on Vine, Amazon.com, and Well.ca.Are there a lot more non-GMO options than you thought there would be!?
