Halloween is here, and the sweets are in endless supply. Finding healthier ways to celebrate the season is easy thanks to yummy recipes like this one for Healthy Halloween Monster Bites from Smart & Final chef Patricia Bannan.

Ingredients

Makes 4 bites

• 1 large green apple, cored and quartered
• 4 tbsp. Sun Harvest Organic Creamy Peanut Butter
• 2 tbsp. First Street Sliver Almonds
• 1 large strawberry, sliced lengthwise (to make 4 “tongues”)
• 8 First Street Mini Marshmallows
• 8 First Street Chocolate Chips

Directions

To make the “mouths” for your Healthy Halloween Monster Bites, you’ll start by cutting a sliver out of each quartered apple. This will open up the mouth.

Note: save the slivers for another snack to cut down on waste

Fill each “mouth” with 1 tablespoon of peanut butter.

You can use the almonds to make “teeth” for your monsters. Push the slivered almonds into the apple on both the top and bottom. Then place a strawberry slice for a “tongue.”

To give your monster even more of a face, it’ll definitely need eyes! Slice a small bit off of one side of marshmallows. This will make the marshmallows sticky so they’ll stay attach to your apples. Attach two mini marshmallow “eyes.” Then, press a chocolate chip into each marshmallows, flat side outward.

Eating healthy doesn’t mean we can’t have fun, and it doesn’t have to be expensive! These Monster Bites were only $1.50 per recipe when the ingredients were all purchased at Smart & Final.

My youngest and I had a great time shopping for our healthy fall favorites.
