Halloween Hullabaloo Healthy and Fun Holiday Treats

Halloween is quickly approaching.  If you have kids, you can be expecting the School Halloween Parties.  Most of the parties I ever had as a kid in school, had tons of snacks - which was a potluck of food brought in by the students.  Here's a couple Fun Halloween Party Ideas.

 

Ingredients

·         vegetable dip

·         4 long carrots

·         1 medium carrot

·         softened cream cheese

·         sliced-almond

·         baby carrots

Instructions

1.      To prepare them, just fill a serving bowl with your favorite vegetable dip. Wash and peel 4 long carrots for fingers and 1 medium carrot for a thumb.

2.      With a paring knife (a parent's job), cut a flat, shallow notch in the tip of each carrot. Then use a dab of dip or softened cream cheese to glue a sliced-almond fingernail atop each notch.

3.      Stick the fingers in the dip, as shown, and serve with plenty of peeled baby carrots for dipping.

Ingredients

• Apples

• Slivered almonds

Instructions

1. Just quarter and core an apple, cut a wedge from the skin side of each quarter, then press slivered almonds in place for teeth.
   

Tips:

If you're not going to serve them right away, baste the apples with orange juice to keep them from browning.
