Halloween Fruit Recipe

Below is a great, healthful Halloween treat for you and your kids. Plus, it allows your kids to get creative!

Ingredients: 

-6 medium oranges
-2 16-oz cans fruit cocktail
-1 16-oz can pineapple chunks
-1 sharpie marker; black

Directions:
1. Cut the tops off of the oranges (as if it was a pumpkin you were carving). 
2. Scoop out the orange being careful not to rip the peel. 
3. Cut up the oranges to use with the fruit mixture. 
4. Using the sharpie marker, draw jack o’ lantern faces on the oranges. 
5. Set them aside to dry. 
6. In a large bowl combine the fruit cocktail, pineapple chunks, and the orange pieces. 
7. Scoop fruit mixture into the oranges and chill for at least one hour before serving.

This snack is sweet with the natural sugars from the fruit cocktail, pineapple, and oranges, without adding the calories from the added sugars of the usual Halloween candy and chocolate treats. Holidays do not have to be full of high calorie foods to treat yourself.
