Scary, sweet treats are easy on braces
Having braces means straighter, healthier teeth in the long run. But times like Halloween can be challenging for kids, teens and even adults with braces who are tempted by the many sticky treats. Taffy-like candies can stick to braces, while other goodies may even snap pieces of the metalwork. The American Association or Orthodontists has teamed up with celebrity pastry chef Gale Gand of the Food Network to promote braces-friendly recipes and National Orthodontic Health Month in October. The ideas are tasty and could be good additions to any recipe file not only for Halloween but throughout the year (minus the spooky twists). The Peanut Butter Eyeballs are a fun option that could be traded for a trick-or-treater's haul of candies that could get stuck in or damage braces. After Halloween, bring the recipe out and change the food-coloring designs to fit Christmas or just omit them and let the white-chocolate coating dress up the peanut butter balls.
