Reverse trick-or-treating

My 6-year-old son has autism and is on a very strict diet - which means no candy. He still wants to get dressed up for Halloween and participate, so we take part in something called Reverse Trick-or-Treating. Charlie hands a card with a little chocolate bar attached to it to the adults on our journey. Reverse trick-or-treating is organized by Green America and Global Exchange. If you go to Global Exchange's website, you can order the tiny chocolate bars and explanatory cards. The chocolate is fair-trade which means the South American farmers were paid a little more than for non-fair trade chocolate and are more likely to have used organic farming methods. Reverse trick-or-treating educates people about the plight of cocoa farmers and helps them to make Halloween brighter for the farmers and their families as well as the trick-or-treaters.
