Any plans to go to a Halloween party?! Show up with a healthy treat that everyone will love!

I know parties tend to have unhealthy, quick-eat food, but it doesn't have to be that way with you there! Make a treat that you like, bring it to the party and you will have a healthy alternative to snack on rather than chips and candy. Also, everyone will be in awe from your creativity and Halloween spirit! OoOoOoOo

For the first treat, all you need to get at the grocery store or in your fridge is 1) baby carrots, 2) a tree of broccoli,  3) 4 slices of cucumbers and 4) dips of your choice. The idea of the whole platter is to be in the shape of  a pumpkin, so I suggest to put the dip and smile down first and then add the carrots around it. You can be super creative with the dips, either making your own or adding some store bought ones. I would add some ranch dressing in one, spinach dip in another and maybe peanut butter to finish it off. I know peanut butter is a little weird, but you would be surprised how the sweetness and crunch of the carrot go so well together! To finish it off, place the tree of broccoli above the carrots to make the "stem of the pumpkin". Wrap it up and stick it in the fridge until you are ready to bring it to your spooky bash, but be careful because the carrots may slide around!

The next one is for someone with more of a sweet-tooth! I would definitely recommend making these guys if your going anywhere where kids will be, they will love the sweetness of the fruit and the accessibility to hold the little ghost or pumpkin. All you need for these two sweet treats are 1) bananas, 2) chocolate chips (assorted sizes to get the full effect), 3) clementines and 4) celery. To make the ghosts, all you have to do is peel the bananas, cut them in half, and add the small chocolate chips for eyes and the larger ones for a mouth. To make this snack even healthier, I would suggest getting semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips rather than milk chocolate. To make the little pumpkins, peel the clementines and chop up celery to add a little stem in the middle.

Voilà! Now you have some ideas for super cute and festive treats to bring to your Halloween party!
