Here’s a Healthier Halloween Treat; Sweet and Salty Chocolate Popcorn Bark has only 3 ingredients and is made without added sugar!
Let’s face it, with Halloween right around the corner, it’s all about treats. But trying to keep the treats on the healthier side and still looking just as good as the regular refined sugary treats the kids want, is where this recipe fits in perfectly!
Serving fruit at a Halloween party or to bring to the children’s school for a party, or cub scouts or dance class isn’t going to work, not for my kids anyway. They want something chocolaty at this time of year. Now of course I’m all for having healthy options at all parties for the kids, but this time of year they just really want some chocolate if you know what I mean.
This quick and easy treat is made with 3 simple ingredients and two are found at your local CVS!
Made with my favorite brand of sugar-free chocolate chips sweetened with stevia from the brand Lily’s, these little festive bundles of love are low in calories, have a good amount of fiber, and are low in natural sugar.
All it takes is a minute or two to melt the chocolate and toss with the rest of the ingredients and about an hour to harden in the fridge. Literally the fastest prep time for a kid friendly party snack!
My kids were thrilled with these and loved the sweet little fruit bites and salty combo from the popcorn. I’m happy that I can find healthy options at my local CVS and can make a lower sugar treat for Halloween that my kids are excited about!

Do you have to store in the fridge? Will chocolate stay hardened?
I dont have CVS in the state of Colorado but will be traveling to California next week where I plan on hitting up CVS and stocking up on some Abound Products! They look so fantastic!
