DIY Gerber's Lil' Beanies Pumpkins {A #GerberWinWin Halloween Treat} #sponsored

Halloween is almost here, and everywhere we look it's candy, candy, candy! So much candy! Now, don't get me wrong- I love candy as much as the next girl, but when it comes to little ones? Well, we try to limit that as much as possible. Instead, we want to get them in the habit of making good food choices earlier on so that they are used to that as they get bigger and are able to make their own food choices. It's easier to start good habits young, then break them when they are older, right?

One treat that we personally love in our house that both tastes great and is better for little ones is Gerber's Lil' Beanies snacks.  Lil' Beanies (TM) is the first bean based snack in the baby aisle. It is made from the goodness of navy beans to deliver 2 grams of protein (9% Daily Value), 1 gram of fiber and 10% Daily Value of Vitamin E per serving. Gerber® Lil’ Beanies(TM) Snack is baked, not made with genetically engineered (GM) ingredients, and is naturally flavored! The come in two delicious flavors: original and white cheddar & broccoli. Because they look similar to other cheese puff snacks, they appeal to kids as a fun treat that they WANT to eat, and they taste delicious too!

Lil' Beanies are already fun all on their own, but I wanted to do a little something to take them to the next level for Halloween, so I headed to my local Target store baby aisle to pick some up!
