Two Healthy Halloween Treats

/

Halloween treats tend to be loaded with sugar and dozens of unnecessary ingredients, so this year I’m sharing two of my favorite (healthy) halloween treats!

Bonus… your little ones will love making these with you!

TANGERINE PUMPKINS

INGREDIENTS:

  • 5 organic tangerines

  • 2 sticks of organic celery (with leaves)

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Peel the tangerine, and remove all of the white inner membrane of the peel that you can.

  2. Wash an dry the celery, then cut into 2 inch narrow pieces.

  3. Place celery inside the peeled tangerines.

  4. Use the celery tops as decor, arrange them on the tangerine to look like pumpkin leaves.

BANANA GHOSTS

INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 bananas

  • 3/4 cup vanilla yogurt

  • 12 mini chocolate kisses

  • 6 wood popsicle sticks

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Place wax paper over a baking pan. 

  2. Peel bananas and cut them in half lengthwise.

  3. Insert a popsicle stick into the cut end of each banana, pushing it halfway up.

  4. Place the vanilla yogurt in a bowl. 

  5. Hold the pops by the wooden stick, and roll each banana in the yogurt to fully coat the outside. 

  6. Allow excess to drip back into the bowl.

  7. Add 2 mini chocolate kisses to the top of your ghost (push pointy end of kisses into banana) - this will make the eyes of the ghost.

  8. Lay all bananas on baking pan, and place in the freezer for 3 hours to allow them to fully firm up.

  9. Remove the pops from the freezer, and use a butter knife to remove from the wax paper if needed. 

  10. Serve right away!
