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)
  • 1 Crumbled Pecan Pie LARABAR
  • 2 Teaspoons of Maple Syrup for Garnish
  • 1 Tablespoon of Chopped Pecans
Mix yogurt with canned pumpkin. Layer a glass with the yogurt mixture, crumbled pecan bar in alternating layers. Garnish with chopped pecans and maple syrup.
