Halloween is almost upon us at last, and the weekend beforehand is one Halloween celebration after another in our household. Trick-or-treating at local businesses in town? Check. Trunk-or-treat sponsored by another town’s park district? Check. Party with all your friends and all your kids’ friends, in family costumes with alcoholic beverages being served? Check mate.<\/p>\n

\"Fun<\/a>We’ve established that the first thing a good Halloween party needs is some booze (glow-in-the-dark eyeball Jell-O shots, anyone?<\/a>). But a party isn’t a party without snacks. The problem? Standard party snacks, especially for Halloween, are less than clean eating staples. Think caramel apples, apple cider donuts, and all the kids’ trick-or-treat candy. That’s not to mention the usual party fare like chips, dips, pizza, and wings.<\/p>\n

Now that I know exactly how many burpees it takes to burn off the calories in a Fun Size candy bar (“helpful” AKA soul-crushing chart at right), I’m thinking twice about Halloween candy binges, and I want to be able to celebrate the holiday without completely wrecking my lifestyle.<\/p>\n

So here are some festive, healthier options to bring with to your next Halloween party that you don’t have to feel guilty about indulging in. Save those calories for something that really counts — like eyeball Jell-O shots.<\/p>\n

Festive, Healthier Halloween Party Treats that Won’t Wreck Your Healthy Lifestyle<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

1. Melted Witch Healthy Fruit Dip<\/strong> (in a cauldron!)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Healthy,<\/a><\/p>\n

This spooky twist on a classic fruit dip cuts out the added sugar and adds green food coloring to make it look like the witch is melted in her own caldron. Top it with one-half of an Oreo and a Hershey’s kiss for the witch’s hat, plus a pretzel stick “broomstick” for decorative effect (you’re not eating these so they don’t violate the healthy-eating rule). Serve with your favorite cut-up fruit, AKA whatever assortment the grocery store has pre-cut and inexpensive.<\/p>\n
