    Before I became a teacher, I spent the last two weeks of October of every year making costumes, planning parties or potlucks, and snacking on those mini candy bars. Stress plus sugar equaled a lowered immune system and I would end up with a cold on Hallowe'en night.

    It was a similar story during my years as a teacher when I had the double whammy of being surrounded by adorable little sneezing, coughing six-year-olds. I consciously try to avoid sugar at this time of year now and look for fun treats like these chocolate coconut bites that will allow me to stay healthy.

        While I've shown them as a Hallowe'en treat, they'd be great for any holiday. (Also good to simply "hide" in the freezer for those times when you're craving chocolate!)
