Halloween marks the start or our national “sugar season,” beginning on Halloween and ending on Valentine’s Day.  Whether it’s Halloween candy, Thanksgiving pie or Christmas cheer, Americans tend to indulge in way too much sugar during these few months.  And, it’s not a coincidence that cold and few season is at the exact same time.  So, do you and your family a favor and start this Halloween on the right track.  This pumpkin mousse is almost better than pumpkin pie.  You won’t believe it actually pretty good for you.  Smooth, creamy and just enough sweetness to satisfy your sugar cravings.  The boys loved to too!
