Mini Jack O' Lantern Rice Balls

Halloween is known for the sweets, candy & treats. While sugar intake is not what we're thinking about when we are 'trick or treating' , we know just how bad all of those goodies are for us. So, here I found an awesome healthy treat just for Halloween on Donna & Anne's Blog:  Apron Strings


Mini - JACK O’ LANTERNS Carrot Rice Balls!
What You'll Need:

  •  1 1/2 Cups Medium or Short Grain Rice 
  • 2 Cups Carrot Juice
  •  1 Cup Water 
  • 1/2 TSP Salt

What You Have To Do:
~ Boil all of the ingredients for 15 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed. Let cool to room temperature.
~ To make the jack o’ lanterns, form smallgolf ball sized balls with the rice, pressing firmly with hands.

**Note: If rice sticks to hands, lightly sprinkle hands with water when rolling.
~ To form the eyes and mouths, cut black olives into shapes and press into the rice balls.
~ To make a stem, cut a small triangle of green bell pepper and stick it into the rice ball tops.
