Growing up, halloween wasn&#8217;t something we really celebrated by trick or treating&#8230;but we still made a lot of <!--more-->treats! It was a lot of fun because together we&#8217;d make caramel apples, play games, and watch a movie together. It was always a special family time&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Today I just compiled some of my favourite treats that are fabulous for halloween&#8230;and they&#8217;re good for you! Please note, these are not all low carb or low sugar like my usual recipes, but they are still falling under the category of &#8220;healthy treats&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5012\" alt=\"bloody-eyeball-macaroons-l\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/bloody-eyeball-macaroons-l-510x340.jpg\" width=\"510\" height=\"340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/bloody-eyeball-macaroons-l-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/bloody-eyeball-macaroons-l-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/bloody-eyeball-macaroons-l.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Low carb macaroons\" href=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/2013\/10\/30\/low-carb-macaroons-for-halloween\/\" target=\"_blank\">Low Carb &#8220;Eyeball&#8221; Macaroons <\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Apple Dip 01\" alt=\"Apple Dip 01\" src=\"https:\/\/www.colourfulpalate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Apple-Dip-01-510x340.jpg\" width=\"510\" height=\"340\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So you want caramel apples?
