Healthy snacks don't have to be scary! Try these Halloween Apple Monster Bites this week while celebrating "spooky season!"

Ingredients

1 green apple, cored & quartered
2 tablespoons almond butter
(or sunflower butter for nut-free schools/homes)
2 strawberries, sliced
4–5 sunflower seeds per apple bite
Blueberry Eyeballs

Directions

-Cut a wedge in the peel side of each apple quarter to create a “mouth.”
Be careful not to cut all the way through — keep each quarter intact.
-Spread almond or sunflower butter inside each mouth.
-Add a strawberry slice to resemble a tongue.
-Gently press sunflower seeds along the top edge for “teeth.”
-Use a small dab of nut or seed butter to attach blueberry eyeballs.
-Admire your spooky creation… then enjoy!

Optional Swaps
Use raisins for “scarier” teeth.
Add shredded coconut for monster “hair.”
Drizzle melted dark chocolate for extra flair.

🌟 October is Head Start Awareness Month! 🌟

Head Start programs are an essential part of our communities, helping children and families build a strong foundation for lifelong learning, health, and well-being.

Head Start supports the whole child and whole family by providing opportunities for early learning, nutrition, health, family engagement, and so much more. These programs help make sure children have the support they need to thrive and families have connections to resources in their communities. ❤️

At HCCA, we’re proud to support our local Head Start programs!

Our Healthy Eating and Active Living Program Coordinator, Sarah, is a trained PALS (Physical Activity Learning Sessions) consultant and Go NAPSACC consultant. Through these programs, HCCA can provide Head Start and early childhood educators with resources, training, and support to create healthier environments where young children can learn, play, eat, and grow.

We’re grateful for the incredible Head Start educators, staff, families, and community partners who work every day to give children the best possible start. 🌱
