Halloween doesn’t have to be all about sugar crashes and sticky fingers. With a little creativity, you can offer treats that are festive and nourishing. These healthy Halloween snacks are perfect for parties, lunchboxes, or spooky movie nights—without the sugar overload.
1. Banana Ghosts 👻
Slice bananas in half and use mini chocolate chips for eyes and a mouth. These ghoulish little snacks are naturally sweet and packed with potassium.
2. Mandarin Pumpkins 🍊
Peel mandarin oranges and pop a small piece of celery or green apple stick into the center to make it look like a pumpkin stem. They’re fun, festive, and a great source of vitamin C.
3. Monster Apple Bites 😈
Cut apples into wedges, add sunflower butter or cream cheese, and decorate with sunflower seeds or mini fruit for teeth. Use a dab of yogurt and raisins to make edible eyes!
4. Witch Broomsticks 🧹
Use pretzel sticks as broom handles and string cheese cut into thin strips at the bottom for the bristles. Tie with a small chive for extra flair. It’s a salty snack with some protein and calcium.
5. Spooky Popcorn Hands ✋
Fill clear disposable gloves with popcorn and add a piece of dried fruit at each fingertip for fingernails (like dried cranberries or raisins). Seal with a ribbon or twist tie for a fun, grab-and-go treat.
6. Pumpkin Hummus with Veggie Dippers 🎃🥕
Blend roasted red pepper hummus with a dash of paprika for an orange hue. Serve it in a small pumpkin or bowl with cucumber, carrot, and bell pepper sticks.
7. Eyeball Yogurt Parfaits 👁️
Layer Greek yogurt with berries and granola. Top with a round banana slice and a blueberry to resemble an “eyeball.” It’s spooky, satisfying, and a good source of protein.
