September, 2011 - The trend to “green” Halloween is growing with the help of YummyEarth Organic Candy. USDA organic certified YummyEarth Organic Gummy Bears and Lollipops meet the growing requests from parents for healthier alternatives while maintaining the fun and flavor of Halloween which kids demand. With YummyEarth, Halloween is a more kid and planet-friendly holiday.

This year YummyEarth is adding a new product, YummyEarth Halloween Personal Bin, to offer a gift item for the Halloween season. Together with YummyEarth Halloween Organic Gummy Bears and YummyEarth Organic Lollipops, the spooky season just got sweeter.

YummyEarth, the #1 candy company in the U.S., is leading the organic candy craze. Halloween sales doubled for YummyEarth from 2009 to 2010. Over 100 million YummyEarth Organic Lollipops were sold in 2010 at over 40,000 retail stores. The mainstream media along with environmental and mom bloggers have been covering the trend and raving about YummyEarth. On ABC News Ashley Koff, Registered Dietician and founder of AshleyApproved.com, recommended YummyEarth organic candy as a better quality treat for Halloween. Phil Lempert, the Today Show’s famed Food Critic, refers to YummyEarth as “the best lollipop I’ve ever tasted.” Rachael Ray loved them so much she featured them as the Snack of the Day on the Rachael Ray Show. MSNBC featured YummyEarth on their eco-friendly Halloween report.

Founded by two dads who want to share great tasting treats with their children while avoiding yucky chemicals found in regular candy, YummyEarth organic candy is 100% all natural, made with real fruit extracts and planet friendly ingredients. It is gluten-free, fat-free, dairy-free, soy-free, GMO-free, peanut-free, tree-nut free and has no artificial dyes, no MSG and no high fructose corn syrup.
