Most Halloween recipes are pretty unhealthy. It’s a holiday that focuses on candy and sugar. It was really hard to find any ideas for savory foods, especially healthy ones.

Pumpkin Krispy Treats
Everyone loves Krispy Treats and, as far as sweet treats go, they aren’t the worst thing you could eat. Depending on the size, one of these is about 150 calories. That’s not too bad.
