Can you believe that Easter is right around the corner? I have to admit, I was totally shocked when I found out it was going to be so early this year. It feels like it wasn’t that long ago that we were celebrating Christmas! Now that Easter is almost here, it means that we are looking not just for Easter meals, but fun Easter basket treats. If your family is anything like mine, we go out of our way to not just put candy and ‘want’ items in Easter baskets, but fruits and healthy treats as well. One of our favorite treats for putting in baskets may actually surprise you – Wonderful Halos!
What we love so much about Wonderful Halos Mandarins is that they aren’t just a great snack, but a healthy snack for kids of all ages. These mandarins are sweet, seedless, easy to peel and have 45% of the recommended daily value of vitamin C. Along with being fat free, cholesterol free, and sodium free, unlike most other kid preferred snacks, they are also Non-GMO Project Certified and grown right here in the United States (California to be exact). As well, they are only 50 calories each, making them a great filler for lunch boxes, snacks, or even Easter Baskets.
Of course, as people who love food, we also love seeing fun recipes that people have made using these delicious mandarins. Below, you will find some fun recipes and pictures created by Wonderful Halos! Take a look at these tasty and creative possible additions to your Easter meal, or any other meal this spring!

I eat these all the time, almost daily for lunch. I like the recipes as another way to use them.
My kids love Halos or Cuties. Healthy snack for everyone and fun to peel.
Why have I never thought to put Halos in the kids’ Easter baskets? Good idea… I also love the Halos smoothie pops recipe – can’t wait to try it!
These are excellent suggestions for healthy Easter treats. Thanks for posting the recipes!
Well it is pretty I think kids would enjoy these in their baskets. Maybe some jelly beans all around for color.
I love the Halo oranges. Their website always has a 50 cent coupon you can print too which is nice.
Definitely including some mandarins with our easter treats!
Great recipes especially the frozen smoothies – can’t wait for summer!

These are some wonderful ideas to use halos mandarins for Easter, These are a must in my house, when my grandchildren visit , its what they love to nibble on.

Thank you for the awesome recipes! I love mandarins
I love mandarins so much, I am now going to have to crunch waiting until next year for this treat. I always seem to miss the best things because I don’t know until it is too late.
My kids love halos too. I love the smoothie pop recipe that’s a great one for us to try. Thank you
I love Halos! I wouldn’t have thought of them related to Easter but they really look cute in the Easter basket.
Halos are my favorite, my kids love them also. Just looking at the recipes gave me some cool ideas.
I have a bag in my refrigerator right now. And if I had any prosciutto I would be makes this bites right now. Have added to my shopping list for friday. love these little things
It is hard to actually use them in a recipe because every time I peel one…I eat it 🙂
My family and I love Halo’s for a tasty snack. I think I would enjoy making the smoothie pops!
Halos are a delicious and tasty treat. They are so colorful and pretty too.
These are some great ideas for Easter. I seldom think about mandarins as a treat at Easter but they’re much better than candy eggs for sure.
I love halos they are so good. The mandarin and quinoa chicken bowls look amazing. I will surely have to try them.
Oh, I didn’t get any Halos this year, and now I’m remembering how good they are. I love making creamsicle popsicles with the halos and vanilla yogurt. I would cut up the Halo segments and freeze them for making these.
