Halloween is typically filled with lollies, chocolates, and sugary treats - it’s often quite hard to avoid. That’s why we have developed 6 Healthy Halloween Treats for the little tricksters.
There's a mix of sweet and savoury to keep everyone happy - they're all low FODMAP and super easy to prepare, so don’t get spooked! Perfect for a Halloween themed party or funky lunchbox snacks for the little ones.
