‘Trick’ little monsters with a healthy superfood treat by Pamela Higgins

 For some parents the scariest thing about Halloween is the amount of sugary treats their kids devour. And because we can’t say no to every indulgence, we’ve teamed up with healthy food blogger, Pamela Higgins, aka SpamellaB, to create a healthier alternative.

Pamela’s Superfood Monster Treat recipe is just the ‘trick’ to get some greens into hungry little mouths. The antioxidant-rich, organic Bioglan Superfoods Cacao Powder gives these treats their delicious chocolatey flavour, while the Supergreens’ vivid green adds a  spooky twist that  contributes towards a child’s 5-a-day.

These healthy bites might look scary but they have hidden super powers to help deliver immune supporting vitamin C with pre and probiotics, to maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria.

What You’ll Need:

  • 4 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 4 tablespoons almond butter
  • 8 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 50g puffed brown rice (no added sugar or salt)
  • 2 teaspoons Bioglan Superfoods Supergreens Powder

For the chocolate:

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 4 tablespoons Bioglan Superfoods Cacao Powder

What To Do:

  • Gently melt the coconut oil, almond butter and maple syrup.
  • In a bowl mix together the puffed rice and Supergreens powder then pour in the melted mixture and stir well to combine – it should stick together.
  • Tip into a lined 9x9in deep baking tin and pack in tight, smooth out evenly then chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  • Now make the chocolate: Melt the coconut oil, almond butter and maple syrup then whisk in the cacao powder.
  • Remove the tin from the fridge, lift out and place on a chopping board. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 rectangles then place on a wire rack.
  • Spread some of the chocolate over ⅓ of each then use the remaining chocolate to drizzle over and create a smile with lines through. Add two flaked almonds on each for eyes – press in and they should stick. Now enjoy!
  • Keep in the fridge for up to 5 days and eat straight from chilled.
