Healthy, Adorable, and Fun!
Halloween doesn’t have to be unhealthy. Same can be said for the fast approaching Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, as well. The trick is to have a plan and stick to it. If you fill your home with candy, make no mistake about it – you’re going to eat until it’s gone!
Plan on healthier alternatives this Halloween. The recipe below above makes a wonderful, healthier alternative… and, come on, how cute is it?!?!
I’ll add a few more healthier but still delicious and fun Halloween treats over the coming days.
Creating these little Jack O’Lanterns is as simple as carving out oranges and filling them with Pritikin’s Chocolate Mousse! When fun and chocolate team up, you have a surefire winner.
