Beauty Food: Healthy Halloween treats from Chef Anthony Stewart

Even though I'm not much of a fan of the colder weather, I do have to admit that I absolutely love Halloween. It's the one time of year I can wear my normal daily makeup and people don't ask "what I'm all dressed up for," and treats. Mmmm...treats. I'm not even going to lie, I have a major sweet tooth which is so not cool when you are a beauty food believer like me. I'm constantly torn. But...after learning that 4% of all candy eaten in the U.S. occurs on Halloween night, making the average trick-or-treater’s bag of candy equivalent to 4,800 calories and 3 cups of sugar, I think that pretty much makes up my mind on what I will be snacking on this Halloween. 

Here are some healthy and absolutely delicious treats you can make for the whole family to enjoy. These treats were created by Chef Anthony Stewart, Executive Chef from Pritikin Longevity Center + Spa in Miami.
