In the midst of all of your Halloween hubbub, with figuring out costumes for the kids and cobwebbing the front door, you may have neglected the main attraction of the festivities – Halloween treats! I have concocted several ghoulish recipes that can be served at parties, in school lunches or at home. Visit Mealtime.org for hauntingly healthy tips and recipes that will have you screaming for more.

Halloween Test Tube Shooters
You're never too old to celebrate Halloween. These test-tube shooters, which closely resemble a science experiment, may be served at kid and adult Halloween parties. Adults – celebrate by substituting sparkling wine for grape juice.
Eyeball Sub
Why order pizza on Halloween when you can whip up something spooky and satisfying? Apple butter and soy sauce add flavor to protein-rich cannellini beans and lean ground turkey. Before your children dig into bags of candy, give them something healthy and nutritious!
Munch-A-Roaches
A scarier take on traditional Rice Krispies Treats, Munch-A-Roaches are perfect for packed lunches or after-school snacks. Tropical fruit salad and currants boost the nutritional value of this already low-fat treat.
