This Halloween, Don't Werewolf Down the Candy!

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Here's a creepy statistic: Halloween candy sales are expected to increase this year by 10%, to $1.8 billion, according to IBISWorld. With Halloween as the nation's top candy-gobbling holiday, much of that candy will be eaten in the coming weeks.

Adults and kids searching for an alternative to those empty-calorie candy bars can try nutrition bars instead. For example, Tiger's Milk® nutrition bars are a tasty treat, yet they're packed with nutrients . . . the best of both worlds. Adults can feel good about passing out nutrition bars on Halloween night. Kids can enjoy a treat that won't lead to nagging from mom and dad.  

Plus, in a bone-chilling coincidence, Tiger's Milk bars are individually wrapped in foil that's Halloween colored (black and orange), making them perfect for trick-or-treaters.

Halloween is only the beginning. Kids and adults will want nutrition bars like Tiger's Milk year round. They are a convenient snack for today's on-the-go families and offer protein, vitamins, calcium, and carbohydrates, providing energy and nutrients with zero grams of trans fat.

Here's a fun fact from the crypt: For nearly 50 years, Tiger's Milk has been known as "America's Original Nutrition Bar," building an almost fanatical fan base over the years. Flavors include Protein Rich, Peanut Butter, Peanut Butter & Honey, and Peanut Butter Crunch. Tiger's Milk was even named by the editors of American Way magazine as one of only 6 "Most Edible" energy bars (of 30 taste-tested).

Tiger's Milk is available at select food and convenience stores including Trader Joe's, Albertson's, Meijer, select Costco clubs, and 7-Eleven. If Tiger's Milk isn't available at a store nearby (they're available throughout the Southwest, but can be hard to find elsewhere), fans can buy online at amazon.com and drugstore.com.
