The hallmark of Halloween is in the candy and delightful scariness. While everyone knows that Halloween is definitely not one of the healthiest holidays, here are a few fun ways to take a heath-conscious approach to this spooky tradition. Whether you’re planning a Halloween bash or staying in with a set of scary flicks on this ghostly night, these healthy treats are sure to kick your night up a notch.
First off, a sweet and tart treat to whet the appetite: Caramel Apples. It’s a traditional treat that calls up memories of childhood. It's a pretty simple and straightforward recipe. Also, try out some white chocolate-dipped banana ghosts! They offer fruit and chocolate, yum!
Second, a savory snack to quell those monstrous stomachs: Pizza Mummies. It has a spooky quality to them, while remaining savory and satisfying.
Lastly, a tantalizing treat to satisfy your sweet tooth: Daddy Long Legs Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cupcakes. This creepy crawler cupcake delivers a nutritious punch and a chocolate-y kick that will give you an energy boost on Halloween night, and the morning after! I used this chocolate chip pumpkin muffin recipe from cupcakesandcashmere. I prefer to use a muffin recipe because it's more wholesome and less sugary, and once you top them with chocolate frosting and you can't even tell the difference. To decorate the cupcake muffins to look like daddy long legs spiders, use this recipe.
Save your physique and stop boring your taste buds with the same old sugary candy confections, mix it up with these healthy treats that scream Halloween.
