Halloween Treat Recipes

[Proud2BMe 1,016]

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.

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!
