Easy, Healthy Halloween Ideas

When it comes to Halloween, I believe adults deserve some fun snacks that are not limited to sugar-loaded candy bars. Here are 3 of my guilt-free treats that will make your inner child smile.

1. Spooky Salmon Tea Sandwiches Recipe

• Pumpernickel or China Black Rice Bread
• Wild Caught Smoked Salmon
• Laughing Cow Cheese Wedges
• Black Olives (to make spiders)

Spread Laughing Cow cheese on slices of bread and layer the smoked salmon. Use Halloween shaped cookie cutters to make small tea-like sandwiches. 

To make a spider, cut black olives in halves. Take one half, slice length-wise and then cut 4-5 times across to make the legs. Assemble as shown on the picture below.edit.

2. Chocolate Apricots Recipe

• Chocolate Apricots
• Dark Chocolate Chips
• Dried Apricots
• Pistachios (crushed)

Melt chocolate chips in 30 second increments until smooth. Take dried apricots and dip half-way in melted chocolate, then roll in chopped pistachios. Dry on parchment paper and enjoy.  


3. Gluten-Free Pumpkin Parfait Recipe

• 1 Cup of Organic Vanilla Yogurt
• 2 Tablespoons of Canned Pumpkin (Not Pumpkin Mix)
