Halloween is a festival that has been celebrated in Italy for years now, coinciding with the festivities of late October and early November: traditionally, in this period, sweets have been prepared in this period in various areas of Italy to commemorate the saints. and loved ones.

Obviously, the American holiday imported by us has slightly overturned the tradition, so at the end of October the children ring the door saying “Trick or treat”, and at home there is no shortage of chocolates, snacks and sweets which, with the excuse of the little ones, even the grown-ups willingly eat.
In this article we see how to prepare low-calorie desserts for Halloween , which take little or no time, which are tasty despite having little sugar and few calories. We will also see some products that can give us a big hand, for those who do not want to get in the kitchen.

SWEET LOW CALORIES FOR HALLOWEEN

1. Mouths of apples: take a red or green apple and cut it into 4 wedges. Score and cut a central slice from each wedge, to create an open mouth. Brush each mouth with a little lemon juice in which you will have added just a pinch of cinnamon. Take some sliced ​​almonds, and stick them in the middle of the central part, so as to obtain a toothless mouth. About 45 calories per mouth.
2. White or red jellies: To make jellies similar to small puddings at home, dissolve some gelatin sheets in half a liter of skimmed milk sweetened with a tablespoon of honey or sugar-free blood orange juice. Pour the liquid into round ice molds (for the white liquid)
   or in the shape of a skull  for the red one (link is the article on Amazon).
   Leave to cool in the fridge for about 3-4 hours before turning them out.
   Round and white jellies can be decorated with a blue, green or brown smarties to make eyes.
   Only 7 calories per gelatin.
3. Mini sandwich in the shape of fingers: take two pavesini and fill them with a level teaspoon of strawberry jam without added sugar, or strawberry fluff marshmallow cream  . In this way you will have very easy mini sandwiches. Better to do them at the last minute so as not to moisten the cookies.
   Calories: about 25/30 depending on the filling.
4. Chocolate Popcorn: Chocolate popcorns are the least caloric and easiest to make ever. Just make the popcorn at home in a non-stick container (at most use only a tablespoon of butter or coconut oil or seed oil), then sprinkle them with a teaspoon or two of brown sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon when they are still hot. , put them on a tray and cover them with 100 grams of dark chocolate that we melted in a bain-marie.
   Calories: 40 per tablespoon.
5. Skeletal Gingerbread Men : Each brownie has around 52 calories if you follow this recipe. You can then use this  giant cookie cutter in the shape of a Gingerbread Skeleton Man , decorating the skeleton with a spoonful of low-fat white yogurt mixed with a spoonful of vanilla icing sugar for a light icing. This way each cookie has 70 calories in total.
6. Light Pumpkin Pie: This low calorie pumpkin pie is perfect for Halloween and is done in no time. A nice mix of spices is essential. Once cooled, we can then decorate it with a layer of  Crema Mou Light Parana ‘ and some slices of dehydrated apple all around. Only 85 calories per slice including these decorations.Finally, if the kids love packaged snacks, try making the dietary Mars stevia or mini Bounty light at home.

But what if you have little time?
Then I recommend this  sugar-free gummy candy pizza , or these sugar-free jellies from Bonelle .
Or the sugar-free chocolate salami from San Martino.

Alternatively, and even this requires very little, you can make coconut and cocoa balls with stevia in this way: take a package of fage total 0% skimmed yogurt (170 gr package), add 3 generous spoons of rapé coconut and a little Truvia until a thick mixture is obtained.
Make small balls and pass them in bitter cocoa, then keep them in the fridge covered with plastic wrap. You get about 8 treats of 45 calories each.
Together with apple chips, they are an excellent and quick dessert to end the evening and make the little ones happy in a healthier way. And adults too.
