Okay, so this will be the first year that I won't be able to eat any real sweets on Halloween. Normally the holiday is a major excuse for my prior binge eating. No joke but I literally could consume an entire bag of the individually wrapped Reese's Peanut Butter cups as well as a dozen Halloween cupcakes over the course of a day. My sleeve put an end to that!

So, Halloween is fast approaching and I thought I would share some good treats we might be able to enjoy. Feel free to post your own!

1. Atkins candy - You can purchase this at Walmart and other location. I've only tried the peanut butter cups and the fake M&Ms. The fake M&Ms are good, the peanut butter cups, not so much.

2. sugar free candy

3. Sugar free cakes, cupcakes and Cookies - Show caution as they still have carbs

4. sugar-free Jello - molded to form spooky shapes

5. Nuts of all varieities

6. Miniature Caramel Apples - See video below. Just make sure to use nuts as a topping and not cookies or candy. Make sure to show self-control. If you eat too many you might as well be eating a regular sized caramel apple.

Protein. Portion size is one ball around the size of a golf ball.

8. Miniature Marshmallow Treats - Ditto on not eating too many. Portion size should be around the size of a saltine cracker.

Remember, these are just to allow us to participate in the holiday and give us a taste of the goodies. What would you recommend?

Love this, thank you!

I am only 2 weeks post op so I'm on soft foods at this point but looking forward to having an occasional treat.

Those little Carmel apples look delightful thank you for sharing

I'm glad I live in a country where Halloween is not a thing. My first challenge will be Christmas.

Good luck with the recipes!
