We can create a ‘light’ version of caramel apples because they contain a lot of sugar. And because it is one of those Halloween treats most children love you are still giving something they want. Caramel apples are easy to make, just place a Popsicle stick in the center of the apple and melt some squares of caramel in a sauce pan and dip the apple half in the caramels and let the caramel drip around the other half. You can roll the apple in nuts or raisins to create a bit of a chunky feeling. because you only dip half of the apple you use less sugar and create a scary looking apple in the same time.
#2 Healthy Halloween Treats: Halloween Goo
Most people like Jell-O and when you add some small pieces of fruit in the shape of body parts you have created a mystery Halloween Goo that the kids will love. Just cut some fruits in to shape and make the Jell-O according the package. You need to put the Jell-O with the fruit in the refrigerator for at least two hours. Children will love to pick the body parts out of the Jell-O.
#3 Healthy Halloween Treats: Cut off fingers
Something simple and very spooky are cut off finger treats, you can use some cans of small hot-dogs and create, with ketchup, a nail on the end of the finger. You also need to tear the end of the hot-dog as if the finger was torn off. To make it a bit more scary to pick out the finger, you can place the finger in a small box or on top of a bowl spaghetti.
