When we think of Halloween in Canada, one thing always comes to mind: candy. But what if we told you some of the most memorable Halloween treats... weren’t candy at all?
Whether you're trying to avoid allergens, mix things up from the usual chocolate bars, or just surprise the neighbourhood with something unexpectedly awesome, we’ve rounded up Canada’s best non-candy Halloween treats — from bubble tea to ramen, and everything in between.
These ideas are kid-approved, quirky, and guaranteed to spark joy long after the candy is gone.
1. Pocas DIY Bubble Tea Kit (Honeydew)
Dine on honeydew and drink the milk tea of paradise!
If you’re looking for a unique Halloween giveaway that kids will remember forever, this DIY Bubble Tea Kit is a total win. Each kit comes with pre-packaged ingredients to make 3 cups of sweet honeydew bubble tea — just portion the components into little goody bags and you’re set!
- ✅ Fun, interactive, and on trend
- ✅ Includes chewy tapioca pearls
- ✅ Great for teens & TikTok lovers
Pro tip: Add a mini recipe card for an extra personal touch.
2. Pokémon Sapporo Ichiban Ramen (Japan)
Trick-or-treating is hard work — and nothing hits like a hot bowl of ramen after a long night out in the chilly October air.
Instant noodles might sound like an odd Halloween treat, but for kids coming home cold and candy-full, this surprise savory snack is everything. Plus… it’s Pokémon-branded. Enough said.
- ✅ Warm, cozy & nostalgic
- ✅ Easy to portion in goody bags
- ✅ A total curveball from the usual sugar rush
3. Quick Milk Magic Sipper – Cookies & Cream
The Magic Sipper turns ordinary milk into a candy-flavoured treat — without the sugar overload of regular chocolate milk.
Each straw is packed with beads that melt into milk (or dairy-free alternatives), making it a fun surprise for younger kids and parents who want to avoid sugar bombs.
- ✅ Low-sugar alternative
- ✅ Makes drinking milk fun
- ✅ Great for lunchboxes or after-school snacks
Bonus: They're on sale right now, but only for a limited time!
4. Kool-Aid Black Cherry Drink Mix
Halloween night gets sweaty under those bulky costumes, and hydration is underrated.
That’s where Kool-Aid comes in. Toss in a few drink mix packets and give trick-or-treaters something they can actually use when they get home — especially if their house is a no-pop zone.
- ✅ Unexpected & refreshing
- ✅ Great for DIY drink kits
- ✅ Easy to personalize with stickers or notes
Keep the Halloween spirit alive with spooky sips, not just sweets!
5. Swiss Miss Hot Cocoa – Pumpkin Spice
The ULTIMATE non-candy Halloween treat? Hot chocolate.
There’s nothing better than coming home from a chilly trick-or-treating trek and warming up with a cozy mug of cocoa. Swiss Miss takes it one step further with pumpkin spice flavour — the definition of fall comfort.
- ✅ Fall flavour perfection
- ✅ Perfect for cozy post-Halloween vibes
- ✅ Great for older kids & nostalgic parents
Give the gift of warm fuzzies this Halloween. Trust us — you’ll be the talk of the block.
