24 Sep Healthy Halloween Snack Mix with RED

Written by, Christine Chanel

As we cool down from a long, hot summer —

It’s almost time to break out those pumpkins, spooky skeletons & some “healthy-ish” Halloween snack mix.

Crisp, tart fruits. Caramel. Chocolate—yes, even candy corn.

There are many pleasant tastes to look forward to, but this time of the year can become quite challenging because honestly, show me any person that can have just a few pieces of Halloween candy without taking the whole bowl. It’s just not possible.

As the classic horror movie trope goes … it’s coming from inside the house.
And, no, it’s not leaving anytime soon. Halloween candy is like glitter—you’ll be finding it for months to come!

What about a Halloween snack full of rich, decadent dark-chocolate without the hefty calories of your seasonal faves?
