I know Halloween is all about the candy, but there is only so much candy a kid can eat right? I like giving out healthy Halloween treats (yes, I am the house that gives out pretzels, toys, and toothbrushes). This year for my daughter’s school, she needs to bring in treats for Halloween. I decided to use oranges and wrap them in tissue paper to make them look like pumpkins. This was so fun and turned out so well. Originally I wanted to use small “Cuties” but they are out of season, so I just used Valencia Oranges that I purchased from the farmers market. The oranges are organic so they aren’t colored bright orange like the supermarket oranges, so the orange tissue paper really makes it look like a pumpkin. Don’t be fooled by the color though, these are the sweetest, juiciest oranges I have ever had! Even sweeter than candy, in my opinion.

Supplies needed to make your own healthy Halloween treats:
- Orange Tissue Paper (1 sheet will make 6 oranges)
- Scissors
- Green Pipe Cleaners (One for each orange)
- Black Vinyl
Cut the tissue paper into a square that will wrap around the entire orange. Mine was cut 8×8 for an orange about 3 inches in diameter.
