Spooky Tarts: Three Ways
Boo! Halloween is here, and so is all the sugar. One could argue that it’s one of the “sweetest” times of the year — you can’t go to the grocery store without seeing shelves lined with Halloween treats. And, while these treats are seasonally cute, the ingredient lists are sure to give you a fright! Traditional Halloween candy is often loaded with artificial flavors, dyes, and of course, sugar.
But it’s not all doom and gloom! Enjoying Halloween with a healthy twist is possible. Swap out artificial, sugar-loaded Halloween candy with better-for-you options like these simple and festive Tarts.
Filled with whole food ingredients, like organic coconut oil, cashews, and almond flour, plus naturally sweetened with organic maple syrup, these better-for-you options are something the whole family can enjoy.
So, skip the sugary scare factor this Halloween and try these freakishly delicious vegan and gluten-free recipes instead.

Ingredients:
- 1 Hail Merry Tart of choice (we used Hail Merry’s Meyer Lemon Tarts)

- Natural food dye: Blue, green, and red
- Icing piping bag (Small piping bag tip is optional)

- Start by adding about ¼ cup of the vegan white chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave for 15 seconds. Remove and stir, adding back to the microwave and microwaving for 10-second increments until completely melted. Set aside.
- Next, make your natural back food dye by mixing equal parts of the blue, green, and red food dye to a mixing bowl (start with just a few drops of each) and mix well. You may have to adjust the color by adding a drop of each color at one time and stirring until your desired shade of black is reached.
- Add a small amount of the black food dye to the melted white chocolate and then add to the piping bag.
- Using the piping bag, create a spider web design.
