Halloween is tomorrow and my kids are so excited to get dressed up and go trick-or-treating. I know their plan is to ring as many doorbells as possible to get as much candy as their sacks can hold. Free candy is nice... but it's also nice to put out some healthier Halloween treats for them to enjoy as well. I have noticed these three fun ideas all over the internet in the last couple of years. So, I thought the kids would have a blast making some mandarin orange pumpkins, apple and peanut butter teeth and banana ghosts in an episode of "Kids in the Kitchen". We had such a great time making our little fruit treats.
I know my kids will still love a candy bar from time to time.. but it's nice that the fruit treats were so enthusiastically enjoyed by them too. I hope you like what the kids cooked up this time!
