Healthy snacks for kiddies' parties
Kids party food can often veer towards the sugar laden? Do you have any healthy party foods or snacks for the little ones that you know they'll eat as easily as the cupcakes?

Although still a little high on the sugar side, I find that raisins work as a great alternative to the bowl of sweets that normally adorn the birthday table. Also making cup cakes and birthday cakes that use Paleo ingredients means that there can be some indulgence at a special celebration time without too much of the sugar addiction factor.
Another thing that would work I suppose is fruit skewered onto a skewer and then you drizzle sugar caramel over so it is a take on toffee apple but with any fruit and with WAY less sugar!
I find another thing that works well is strawberries dipped in chocolate. I know all these suggestions have got sugar in them but it is not full of sugar.
Victoria - I like the idea of a bowl of raisins! I suppose any dried fruit would work.
I prefer fresh fruit than dried fruit (besides raisins)
Popcorn: salted, drizzled with caramel, or drizzled with coloured melted white choc is awesome
Sugar free jelly with some home-made custard
Home made ice lollies/yoghurt lollies
Add less sugar to the cake, the icing will be sweet enough
Decorate rice cakes with nutella/peanut butter, etc depending on the theme
