🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃

Looking for some spooky last minute, healthy(-ish 😜) treats that are easy to whip up and actually nutritious 🌿? Ben’s got you covered with 3 fun vegan recipes that are perfect for the season! 👻💀

✨ Witches’ Fingers (makes 10) ✨

• 350g almonds
• 100g pitted dates
• 3 tbsp cacao
• One espresso shot of coffee

Blend it all together, shape into fingers, and stick an almond at the end for the ‘nail.’ 🧙‍♀️

🍫 Reese’s Pieces (serves 6) 🍫

• 300g dark chocolate
• 1/2 tsp peanut butter per piece
• 1 tsp coconut oil
• vegan marshmallows for ‘spiders’ 🕷
• Icing sugar for eyes and legs

Melt chocolate with coconut oil, layer with peanut butter, add more chocolate, and chill in the fridge. Finish with vegan marshmallow ‘spiders’ and decorate!

🍏Apple Monster Bites🍏

Ingredients

• 2-3 green apples (Granny Smiths are ideal for their colour)

• Peanut butter or almond butter (for filling)

• 6-8 strawberries (sliced for tongues)

• Sunflower seeds or sliced almonds (for teeth)
• Edible candy eyes (or you can make eyes with icing sugar)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Apples: Cut each apple into quarters and remove the core. Then, cut a small wedge out of the skin side of each apple quarter to create a “mouth.”

2. Add the Peanut Butter: Spread a small amount of peanut butter into each “mouth” cavity. This will help the other ingredients stick and add a delicious flavor.

3. Make the Tongue: Place a slice of strawberry inside each mouth, with the pointed end sticking out to resemble a tongue.

4. Add the Teeth: Press a few sunflower seeds into the peanut butter along the top of the mouth to look like teeth.

5. Add the Eyes: Place two candy eyes on top of each apple slice using a small dab of peanut butter to help them stick.

Scare up some healthy fun with these treats tonight! 👻

Kindness costs nothing, but its impact is beyond measure, and one single compliment can brighten someone’s entire world! 🌿

As Rachel Stevens beautifully shares on the Great Company podcast with Jamie Laing, one of the most powerful things we ask our guests at camp is to write down something meaningful they’ve noticed about each person - something they might need to hear.

These words, from the heart, remind us that we are seen, valued, and loved just as we are. Let’s keep sharing that light with each other, because a few kind words can change everything! 🫶🏼

If you want to watch the full podcast with the gorgeous Rachel Stevens, just comment ‘PODCAST’ and we’ll send you the link!
