Ditch the Candy. Make Your Own Halloween Party Food!
Halloween scares me. And it’s not because of the costumes; it’s because of the food! The entire day is centered around candy, snacks, and desserts that are loaded with sugar, chemicals, and allergens. If you’re on a restricted diet, Halloween party food can be a real nightmare.
But you don’t have to choose between a stomach ache and hunger at your next big bash. Instead, bring your own desserts and dishes to share. This way, you’ll have something at the party you can actually eat. Plus, you’ll be a hero for helping the host fill out the spread.
Not sure what to make? Keep your Halloween party food clean and festive with apples, pumpkins, dark chocolate, and fall vegetables. With my round-up of recipes, you won’t feel like you’re missing out—at all. No gluten? No dairy? No problem!
