​BLOODY CUPS FOR HALLOWEEN (VEGAN & GLUTEN-FREE)
Serves: 8

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 cup frozen raspberries
  • 1 tablespoon rice syrup
  • 1 cup + ¾ cup (150g + 100g) vegan baking chocolate (or chocolate chips)

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Heat the frozen raspberries in a small pot on medium-high heat until soft, mash the raspberries until there are no large chunks anymore & add the rice syrup. Give it a mix and set aside to cool.
  2. In a double boiler, melt 1 cup of the chocolate. Meanwhile place 8 muffin liners in a muffin pan.
  3. Place about 1½ teaspoon of melted chocolate in the muffin liners and tilt them, so the chocolate spreads to the sides. Repeat for all the muffin liners and place it into the fridge for a few minutes (until the chocolate hardens).
  4. Melt ¾ cup of vegan chocolate in the double boiler. Meanwhile add about a teaspoon of the raspberry filling into the chocolate coated muffin liners (place it in the middle). Once the chocolate has melted, pour it over the raspberry filling. Tilt it a bit so the top is covered with the chocolate completely. Let it harden in the fridge for about 5 minutes.
  5. Once the chocolate is hard, carefully remove the cupcake liners and enjoy.

HEALTHY CANDY APPLE WEDGES
SERVES: 2

INGREDIENTS
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
  • 2 medium apples, washed (I used Granny Smith because I like their tart flavor)
  • 3 oz (85 g) good-quality dark chocolate, chopped (see Note)
  • 2 tablespoons toasted walnuts, chopped

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Add the lemon juice or vinegar to a medium bowl and fill the bowl ⅔ full with cold water; set aside for now.
  2. Core and quarter the apples; cut each quarter into 2 wedges so you end up with 8 wedges from each apple. Transfer the apple wedges to the lemon juice/water mixture to soak while you melt the chocolate and prepare the walnuts.
  3. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave until smooth. Finely chop the walnuts and place them in a small dish.
  4. Line a baking tray with wax paper and have it ready to place the apple wedges on.
  5. Drain the apple wedges, and pat them dry with paper towels. Working with 1 apple wedge at a time, dip it in the chocolate (or drizzle the chocolate on top), and then sprinkle on some walnut. Place the wedge onto the prepared tray. Continue this way until all the apple wedges are coated.
  6. Transfer the tray to the fridge so the chocolate can harden; serve.
  7. I like to serve these within a couple hours of making them to help keep the apples from oxidizing.
Notes
Chocolate: To keep this paleo and vegan, use dairy-free, stevia-sweetened dark chocolate.

HALLOWEEN MEX STUFFED PEPPERS 

INGREDIENTS
4 orange bell peppers your choice of color
2 cups cooked rice 
2 cups of slow cooker shredded taco chicken (recipe below)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 can black beans rinsed and drained

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Bring a large pot of water to boil.  While you are waiting for the water to boil, rinse peppers, slice off the tops and hollow out the insides, be sure to remove any seeds and the white part inside. If desired, use a small paring knife to cut out a jack-o-lantern face.
  2. When water is boiling, put the peppers and tops in and allow to cook for about 5 minutes until peppers are tender.  
  3. Remove from water and set aside to cool.  
  4. Mix the cooked rice, shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, and black beans together in a large bowl.  
  5. Fill each pepper with the chicken and rice mixture and top with cheese, if desired. Replace pepper top back on top. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes until cheese is melted and pepper is done to desired tenderness.  

  6. Alternately, once peppers are stuffed, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate, when ready to cook, preheat oven to 350, remove plastic wrap and bake for 1 hour.

SLOW COOKER SHREDDED TACO CHICKEN
2 chicken breasts
1 teaspoon cumin
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies

Add chicken to the bottom of the slow cooker, sprinkle seasonings on top and then cover with diced tomatoes. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-6 hours. Shred chicken and allow it to remain in sauce.
