Healthy Halloween Sweets

These snacks are a great way to get kids involved in healthy and low sugar snacks during holidays, and to bring to various parties during this time of year.

Pumpkin Truffles

Truffles might sound like something you shouldn’t have on a diet, but you can definitely make a version of these that work with your diet restrictions. This is a much healthier version of traditional truffles and they use pumpkin, which turns them into a fun Halloween treat. For the truffles, you will need to combine the following ingredients:

• Coconut oil

• Coconut butter

• Pumpkin puree

• Cinnamon

• Nutmeg

• Sea salt

• Pure honey

• Dark chocolate

Combine the ingredients in a bowl and roll them into round-shaped truffles. Place in the refrigerator to cool. You can use the dark chocolate to melt and dip the truffles, or leave that part out. This is completely up to you. After dipping, put them on wax paper until the chocolate hardens, or put them in the refrigerator again to speed up the process.

GHOST BANANAS

This is a super easy snack you can make for your kids leading up to special holidaysor to display at a holidayparty whenyou want everyone to have healthier, paleo-approved snacks with a scarytheme. All you need to do slice some smaller bananas in half, then add any type of fruit, nut or even dark cacao chips as the eyes and mouth. It instantly transforms it into a ghost banana! You can dip the top of the bananas in some melted white chocolate if you allow that on your paleo diet, but it is definitely not required.
