The trick to healthy Halloween treats

The trick to healthy Halloween treats

health hallowen treats

We all know how tempting it is when the shops stack their shelves low and high with spooky sweets and terrifying treats, but it is possible to have a horrifying and healthy Halloween. The trick is to make a number of simple swaps that reduce saturated fat and sugar, but still allow you to satisfy your sweet-tooth. Easy alternatives include switching milk chocolate to dark, as it has less sugar, more fibre, and more iron! Try these bloody cups by the Elephantastic Vegan made simply of dark chocolate, frozen raspberries and rice syrup. You just heat and mash the raspberries, add in a squirt of rice syrup and then spoon it into muffin cases after spreading melted chocolate across the bottom and sides. They look great and taste even better!

Or, you could use cacao powder to achieve a chocolatey taste. These coconut and cacao ghosts by Feasting On Fruit look amazing and take less than 30 minutes to make! They're made with oat flour, dates, non-dairy milk (like almond or soy), cacao, baking powder and coconut milk powder for the frosting. A treat the whole family can enjoy, and one you can recreate for all the seasons - we're thinking snowmen for Christmas and bunnies for Easter.

Fruit is another great alternative that can satisfy your sweet cravings with their natural sugars. Two Healthy Kitchens have some ghoulish recipes like the apple mummies below, and mini Frankenstein heads made by peeling kiwis and adding pretzel sticks for the screw and chocolate chips or raisins for eyes. They're both quick, easy and cheap recipes, loved by kids and adults alike. The apple mummies are also great when sliced and spread with a nut butter for that divine sweet and salty combination!

Finally, for those of you that go crazy for candy corn over this holiday, why not try these candy corn coloured popsicles by The Girl Inspired? They're made by scooping Greek yoghurt, 100% orange juice and 100% pineapple juice into popsicle moulds and leaving to freeze for a few hours. Chillingly simple yet devilishly delightful!

Have a happy and healthy Halloween!
