Nevertheless, come Easter morning there’s no hiding the fact that your child’s basket will be filled with traditional sweets. Before anybody starts nibbling, here are ten “healthy-ish” Easter basket treats all under 225 calories. The key: pay attention to portion size and opt for heart-healthy dark chocolate.
