This healthy Halloween dessert dip looks like an edible graveyard and is a healthy vegan dessert for Halloween parties!
When you’re a kid, Halloween feels scary and spooky because there are weird men roaming the streets with psycho serial killer masks on. When you’re my age, it feels scary because you’re somehow expected to get yourself into the skimpiest costume of life while starring down a pot of candy that you’re tethered to at the front door. Like forget stranger danger, overdosing on candy is a serious issue.
I am all for a sweet treat, but have too many of those those mini fun bars, and you’re probably not going to be having so much fun. Introducing a Healthy Halloween Dessert Dip that your kids (and let’s be honest you) will love. It looks like a spooky graveyard but its actually a vegan reduced sugar dessert that everyone at the holiday party will love.
How to Make a Healthy Halloween Dessert Dip Look Like an Edible Graveyard
Halloween is a kitchy holiday so I’m all for making somewhat kitchy themed food. If I’m expected to dress up, then I better dress up my food as well. This Healthy Halloween Dessert Dip starts with a vegan protein pudding, topped with a chocolately coconut “soil” and some fun graveyard editions like pumpkins, ghosts and tombstones.
