With Halloween just around the corner, all of the candy is starting to make its appearance. Although overwhelming, staying healthy even in the middle of the candy chaos this month is doable with a little creativity and resourcefulness! This week at Indulge In Nutrition we wanted to share a new twist on an old favorite- apple slices and almond butter turned into a spooky halloween treat! Your kiddos will love these Goblin Grins and they are a snack you can feel good about treating them to this Halloween. (They can even help out with this one!)

Ingredients:

• Apples
• Almond butter (can sub your favorite nut butter)
• Jam of your choice
• Slivered almonds
• Mini marshmallows
• Tooth picks

Assembly:

1. Slice your apple into strips (about 1/2-1 cm thick).

2. Spread the almond butter on one side of a few of the apple slices

3. Push the slivered almonds into the almond butter to where the ends stick into the apple slice just a bit. This will help anchor the two slices together later.

4. Take one of your toothpicks and use it as a small tool to drip jam through the “teeth” (almond slivers).

5. Take the second apple slice (it’s easier if it has almond butter on it as well) and press it into the almond slivers.

6. Now take two more toothpicks and put one marshmallow on one end and then press the toothpicks all the way through both apple slices.

It’s alive!! Enjoy these cute little Goblin Grins with your cuties as an after school snack or as a special treat when the candy is too much.

Happy Halloween from Indulge In Nutrition
