Nothing screams Halloween like a dismemebered body part or two. With some inspiration from our Severed Fingers and Halloween Eye recipe, we came up with our newest creation: a Severed Ear! It's amazing to see what can happen in the Healthy Kitchen with a little peanut butter mousse, some raspberries and creativity will create. Add this eerie but delectable treat to your Halloween spread.
