How to Plan a Healthy Halloween
October 24, 2022
Are you looking for a Healthy Halloween snack for an upcoming potluck or party? Here’s a simple recipe from Laura’s kitchen that can significantly lower your sugar intake this October.
Let’s play a little game called “can you guess which treat is the healthy indulgence?” One of the Caramel Apples shown above has 93 grams of sugar. The other has 19.
Ingredients:
- Sugar-Free Caramels
- Apples
- Chopped Nuts (optional)
- Waxed Paper
Directions:
Dr. Cox used Smart Sweets caramels but any sugar-free caramel will work to make these delicious caramel-covered apples.
- She melted the caramel in the microwave in 10-second bursts with frequent stirring to prevent it from burning.
- Once the caramel is melted, you have to move fast. Roll the apple in the caramel and dip in chopped nuts if desired.
- Let cool on waxed paper.
You can still enjoy your favorite fall treats without overloading with sugar!
