Sometimes it's great to step away from all the sweets and create healthy Halloween treats with your kids. We had so much fun creating these healthy alternative treats that you can serve up at your Halloween party. And there's no cooking involved!
We made Apple Monsters, Banana Ghosts, Mini Pumpkin and Jack-O'-Lantern Oranges. They are simple and healthier alternatives to give your little ones during Halloween.
