Healthy Halloween Treats
1. Candy Corn Popsicles
Itty-bitty candy corn contains a not so itty-bitty list of questionable ingredients. Corn syrup, dextrose, yellow 6, and artificial flavoring just to name a few. These cute candy corn popsicles on the other hand? Yogurt, orange juice, and pineapple juice! The perfect healthy Halloween treat!
2. Banana Ghost Pops
Simple, scary, and scrumptious, these simple banana ghost pops are so simple to make. Simply freeze halved banana with a popsicle stick until solid (4+ hours or overnight), dunk in vanilla yogurt (or melted white chocolate if you want to be extra decadent), place mini chocolate chips in the eyes and re-freeze. Boo!
3. Flying Bat Cookie Pops
Bats are basically horrible outside any context other than this recipe. But thanks to some chocolate and cookies, we will gladly look at (and gobble up!) these gluten, egg, and dairy-free bats without thinking twice!
4. Pumpkin Mini Cheesecake with a Gluten-Free Brownie Bottom

We were unaware that mummies watched their weight. But apparently they do, and they’re skinny and still eat cake!
