Here are some fun treats that your kids will like and don't contain as much sugar and fats as most Holloween snacks do.
Salty Bones - click here to see the original recipe. Taken from familyfun.go.com
Of course everyone will love dipping their bones in Coagulated Blood (marinara sauce), Slimy Goo (honey mustard) or with a cup of Blood Soup (tomato soup)
-
- Unroll a tube of refrigerated breadstick dough and separate the rectangular pieces.
- Working with one piece at a time, stretch the dough to lengthen it a bit and then use kitchen scissors or a knife to cut a 11/2-inch slit in the center of each end.
- Roll or shape the resulting four flaps of dough into knobs that look like the ends of a bone.
- Place the dough bones on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart, and sprinkle on a little coarse salt. Bake the bones until they are light golden brown, about 12 minutes.
