The Ultimate Gluten Free Halloween Extravaganza

Yeah, you heard me. Extravaganza.

In my opinion, October 31 starts the Season of Indulgence.

First we have Halloween, the night of the organized begging for candy.

Next is Thanksgiving, where we eat all day and ceremoniously watch inflatable figures maneuver their way around the streets of New York City.

And then finally, Christmas; the day of family, feasting, and singing about a large man and his reindeer.

What a wonderful season we have ahead of us.

Call me crazy, but I want to start this season off on a healthy foot. While I still want to indulge, I’d still like to be able to have my cake Halloween candy and eat it, too.

Thus, the need for the Ultimate Gluten Free Halloween Extravaganza was born.

Guys, if you’re looking for a way to keep within your nutritional goals, yet still totally have one spooktacular (sorry) Halloween night, you’ve come to the right place.

This is the place where, you not only will find recipes for your favorite Halloween classics (Almond Joys, Twix, Butterfingers, the works), but also find sinfully sweet chocolate desserts, pumpkin-spiked delights, and some frighteningly festive fare.

So go ahead; pick your poison – it’s bound to be one terrifyingly delicious night!
