Trick or Treat Yourself….

Say goodbye to the sugar-fuelled ghosts of Halloweens past. Here are three spooktacular Halloween snacks that will keep the kids happy.

Munchy Apple Minions

An apple a day keeps the monsters away. These munchy apple monsters are fun to make with the kids (and an easy way to get them eating more fruit!).

The Recipe:

Ingredients:

2 green apples, each quartered
peanut butter
32 sunflower seeds
3 strawberries, sliced
1-2 sugar eyes per monster

Method:

Cut the middles out of each quarter of the apple to create a mouth.
Coat the inside of the cut gap with a filling of peanut butter.
Stick 4 sunflower seeds into the top of the mouth like jagged little teeth.
Add 1 sliced strawberry inside the mouth – it’s the tongue.
Add a dot of peanut butter to each eye and stick onto the apple above the mouth.

Boo-nanas

These banana pops are a great alternative to sugar-filled ice creams and lollipops. If you want to go totally refined sugar-free, but keep things delicious, use Greek yoghurt instead of white chocolate.

3 Halloween Snacks For The Kids

Ingredients

1 medium banana
100g good quality white chocolate
8 mini chocolate chips for eyes
4 ice lolly sticks

Instructions:

Cut banana in half lengthwise, then in half to make four quarters.
Push the ice lolly stick into the less pointy end of the banana, and freeze bananas on a grease proof paper.
After 24 hours, your bananas will be frozen. You can then chop your chocolate up add it to a bowl and melt it by adding it to the microwave 30 seconds at a time, stirring until the chocolate is melted and soft.
Dip the bananas into the chocolate, scraping off the excess chocolate from the back of the banana, and place it on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper. Add the chocolate chips for the eyes before while the chocolate is still wet.
Freeze again for about 2 hours. Eat!
