Here are two super cute healthy Halloween snacks for the whole family. Everyone will enjoy these edible craft banana ghost and spider pops! Kristen Smith of 360FamilyNutrition.org is sharing this delicious Halloween treat recipe with us.  These Halloween fruit treats are made with a banana serving as the body of the snack. Then the banana is dipped in or drizzled with melted chocolate. Finally you can add mini chocolate chips, pretzels, and marshmallows to decorate them as you please.

    These are super cute. I am going to make the veggie tray. My youngest started eating pickles… so I am going to encourage other veggies with a little spritz of pickle juice. My hubby thinks I am nuts, but I am determined.
