Halloween is almost upon us, and while everyone enjoys a good scare, some holiday goodies are downright frightening when it comes to the nutrition label.
If you’re planning a Halloween party for little ones, there’s nothing to fear: we’ve gathered up some fun and healthier snack options that are sure to please even the scariest witch and warlock!
Mini Pumpkin Pizzas
Think of this as a jack-o-lantern you don’t have to carve. Just use regular pizza dough and shape into mini-pizzas (or use ready-made crusts if you’re short on time). Then let your kids’ imaginations run wild. After spreading the sauce and sprinkling the cheese, add veggies, pepperoni and any of your other fav toppings to make scary creatures or funny faces. Great idea from Play Party Plan.
