It’s that time of the year again when children go door to door asking for a “trick or treat”.
It’s a great time for kids to go out, have fun and take home lots of treats. The only downside to this fun tradition is the number of candies kids get to bring home that are not only bad for their teeth and overall health but affect their eating habits as well.
A healthy alternative is to limit your kids’ intake of the collected candies and get them involved in making other healthy treats at home. You can serve theme to your family and/or your guests. The kids and your guests will not only love eating your tasty treats but love how they look, too.
If you are worried that they might be hard to prepare, you don’t worry since they are easy to make with simple ingredients you have in your kitchen.
