Fun and healthy Halloween treat
Every Halloween we go to my sister-in-law's house for trick-or-treating. We live out in the country with the nearest neighbor being ½ mile away.
No chance of my kids getting a stash of candy at our place. Nope, we head into town where we can walk down the sidewalks and go door to door. It has become a tradition.
We always have dinner at my sister-in-law's house before we head out to fill their bags with candy.
We put out a spread with a bit of everything including Hot Dog Mummies!
The kids loved these fun apples and they gobbled up this healthy treat!
Go ahead, serve up some Halloween Apple Teeth for your little goblins!
