Parents have mixed feelings about Halloween. It’s heartwarming to see the happy faces after they get treats from strangers, but that’s where the dilemma of every parent starts.
Candy is good as an occasional treat, which is exactly what Halloween is all about. The problem is the amount of candy the kids bring home after a night of trick or treating around town.
Too much candy can only mean a toothache or a tummy ache. With the rising popularity of healthy living, you can now change the way you celebrate Halloween. Instead of giving the traditional candy and treats expected during this yearly tradition, you can now make your own healthy halloween treats to hand out that other parents will appreciate, but more importantly, treats the kids will love and actually eat.
We already published an article about healthy Halloween recipes. Check out the article, “Healthy Halloween Treats.” You’ll find out how to make Halloween sandwiches, banana ghosts, Clementine jack o’ lanterns, apple mouths, scary eyes, and spider eggs. If you have kids yourself, this is the perfect opportunity to teach them that they can still have fun without the usual junk food and sweets. Also, making these healthy Halloween treats is a great bonding experience for the entire family, something you will always look forward to in the years to come.
