13 Healthy Halloween Treats
Candy corn, chocolate bars, caramel apples and so many other
sugary treats are front-and-center at Halloween, even before the
trick-or-treating begins! If you want to get into the holiday spirit in
a healthier way, here are some easy-to-make Halloween snacks
we found that kids (and grown-up kids) will love.
What are your favorite healthy Halloween snacks?
Jack-o’-Lantern Fruit Cups
Add color and fun to your Halloween with these smiling jack-o’-
lantern faces carved into navel oranges. Slice off the tops of the
oranges, scoop out the pulp, use a paring knife to cut out jack-o’-
lantern faces, and fill with grapes and/or mixed berries.
Orange You Lovin’ Fall Fruit Salad
Save the pulp from your jack-o’-lantern fruit cups to make this
fruit salad. Fill small mason jars with pineapple slices, orange
wedges, and top with Greek yogurt.
Slithering Snake Dip
Eek! What is lurking in your hummus? A slithering snake made
from black olives! Cute Food for Kids carved beady eyes from
string cheese and added a carrot tongue. Even those who hate
serpents will love this little guy.
Candy Corn Popsicles
Here’s a healthier spin on candy corn! These colorful homemade
popsicles are made from pineapple juice, orange juice, and
yogurt. We want the popsicles! Click here to get the recipe.
Mummified Apples
Googly eyes and gauze tape turn green apples into mummies
that are almost too cute to bite into.
Spooky Spider Eggs
Deviled eggs (like these) get extra creepy-crawly when they’re
topped with spiders. To make eight scary spider eggs, cut 12 black olives in half vertically. Place one half in the
center of each egg to form the body, then slice each remaining olive half into four sections to create legs. Shiver.
Ghoulish Hard-Boiled Eggs
Let your kids in on the decorating fun! Use black foodsafe ink pens to draw ghostly faces on white hard-boiled eggs.
This example from Wit & Whistle shows how simple – and cute! – each drawing can be.
Frankenstein’s Monster
2. Is this a trick or a treat? This veggie tray made to look like Frankenstein’s monster is a little bit of both. Let your kids
play with their food to help create this healthy platter and they
might just be tricked into eating their veggies.
Eyeball Pasta
Start off a night of trick-or-treating with this clever eyeball pasta!
Visit Spend with Pennies to see how she used string cheese,
black olives, and a straw to create eyeballs of different sizes that
stare out of ghoulishly green spinach pasta.
Jack-o-’Lantern Clementines
Pick up a foodsafe pen and the whole family can have fun
decorating the skin of clementines, tangerines, or oranges with
spooky or smiling faces. Pop these into lunch boxes the week
leading up to Halloween.
Pumpkin Veggie Tray
This veggie platter is a Halloween party essential! Mom
Endeavors shares some tips for constructing this spooky
pumpkin from baby carrots and black olives. The stem can be
made from broccoli, the end of cucumber, or a celery stick. Serve
with Slithering Snake Dip!
Banana Ghosts and Orange Pumpkins
Boo! Turn bananas into spooky ghosts with chocolate chip eyes
and mouths made from chocolate covered raisins. Make a
pumpkin patch out of peeled clementines or tangerines. Just use
a sprig of celery in the center for the stem!
