Candy Corn Fruit Cup

October 2, 2015 by beneficialbento

This is a really simple but healthy snack made of cottage cheese and fruit - so cute for Halloween!

Halloween food doesn't have to be all about candy. These cute little candy corn fruit cups don't contain any candy (ore even sugar), and they have a nice balance of healthy carbs and protein. These would be  fun for a treat for a Halloween party, or a nice snack or healthy dessert.

WHAT'S IN THIS RECIPE

  • low fat cottage cheese, or you could also use vanilla greek yogurt
  • mandarin orange slices, canned in fruit juice
  • pineapple tidbits, canned in juice

TIPS AND TRICKS

  • I used clear disposable cups so I could make a bunch of these at once and keep them in the fridge for snacks. You could also use clear glass dessert dishes.
  • I used cottage cheese because it's so thick. Yogurt could also work, but make sure to use greek yogurt. The fruit tends to sink down into regular yogurt and then the layers are lost.
  • The layers look much better if the fruit is drained really well in a colander before making the fruit cups.

a fun, healthy Halloween snack! Great for school parties too!

PRODUCTS I USED

      • I used these cups: Solo Clear Cups - 9 oz 
      • These lids are great for transporting them for a party: SOLO Cup Company - Ultra Clear Flat Cold Cup Lids 

Healthy Candy Corn Fruit cups - a great alternative to candy for a Halloween party

    Blimey, what a beautiful cup O' Fruit and goodness. Can hardly wait till can take a trip to Hawaii and grab a hunk of Pine apple and make some cottage cheese for the white part. Are you some kind of wizard or something to shrink those oranges down to a tiny little thing?

    Love you,
    Cornbelly

      Dear Cornbelly,
      Yes, you found me out - I am a wizard. Now take me to Hawaii where I will make you all the fruit cups you could ever want!
      p.s. - Is your belly really made of corn?
