Healthy alternatives to candy?
Last year Halloween kind of snuck up on me, so I had to improvise, and came up with pea-kabobs. Just took some cocktail type toothpicks (with the pretty colored plastic on one end) and slid some Green Giant Green Peas on them.
Surprisingly, they were quite the hit. I went thru a can really fast. I ended up having to open up a can of peas and carrots and doing the same thing. While more colorful, they took a little longer to get rid of.
So, in a couple more hours these crumb snatchers will be coming around again, and I am out of peas and peas and carrots. I only have the standard toothpicks also.
As far as canned veggies, I have some canned beets, black-eyed peas, and black beans. I am not sure if I should skewer them together or individually. Maybe just drain the juice and skip the toothpicks altogether?
I have some instant oatmeal, so I guess I could roll them thru the oatmeal first.
Any suggestions?
