    Easter is fast approaching, and many people are looking for fun Easter basket ideas. Unfortunately, we associate Easter baskets with chocolates and other sweets, but Easter candy is not the healthiest of treats. Fortunately, there are many ways to easter baskets that are fun and healthy.

    Here are some of the most popular Easter basket ideas and top candy alternatives

    Top Candy Alternatives

    Easter is the second largest candy-selling holiday next to Halloween. While children love sweets, many parents want to limit their children’s candy consumption. So here are a few popular (and tasty) candy alternatives:

    • Dried fruit (banana chips, dried pineapple, dried sliced mango, raisins, etc.) 
    • Nuts (almonds, walnuts, pistachios, pecans, etc.)

    Another option is to create a trail mix for the kids with peanuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, raisins, and dark chocolate (which is healthier than milk chocolate). These items contain antioxidants, vitamins, healthy fats, and other nutrients, making them an excellent replacement for traditional Easter candy.
