Healthy Halloween Party Foods

Even though Halloween is not one of my favorite holidays, I enjoy the parties and seeing people (especially kids) dressed up.  We have been enjoying several Halloween parties this year and I'm constantly thinking of healthy and gluten-free foods to take that actually taste good and kids will eat.  This year I found three and added a little Halloween creepiness to some of them. 

I made two appetizers, one fruit and one vegetable.  I also made a dessert.  Here are my gluten-free Halloween party foods.  The great thing about these are you can make these foods for any party, just take away some of the extra creepiness.  Click on the links below for the recipes!  Happy Halloween!!

Spooky Apple Teeth

I think I got this idea from Pintrest.  I'm always thinking of healthy things to take to parties. I made these for a Halloween party and the kids loved them. These are easy to make.  

I used organic apples, organic apple butter, and different nuts for the teeth.  I used almonds, walnuts, and pistachios.  Pistachios seemed to be the easiest.  You could also use almond butter or peanut butter for the filling.

Here's my step-by-step guide to making these yummy and healthy treats.

Start by cutting the apples like this.

Then cut the mouth.

Once you have them all cut, rub a sliced lemon over the whole apple so it doesn't darken.

 

Spread some apple button in the "mouth" of the apples.

Add the nuts for the teeth and you're done!
