Cooking Games and Health(ier) Halloween Treats

Let’s admit right now that Halloween treats stop being treats when they are totally healthy. Nobody wants to eat a handful of celery for Halloween after all! It’s about the candy, the sweets and the stomach-ache that comes later. That being said, there are some cooking games that give you a bit more flexibility when it comes to sweets on Halloween – you can make them sweet, but perhaps just a wee bit healthier as well.

Popcorn Balls – Make your own popcorn balls using butter, caramel and other natural ingredients. They will be loaded with sugar and fat, of course, but at least your homemade popcorn balls won’t be full of preservatives.

Candy Apples – These cooking games give you lots of choices for how to make things healthier. You’re going to have to use a bit of caramel on the apple, of course, but you can also use other ingredients to add some additional flavor and fun. Roll the apple in coconut or perhaps nuts. Then, enjoy the apple cooking games knowing you’re eating some good things along with that sticky caramel.
