Halloween Snacks for Party

I’ve helped with my fair share of Halloween class parties, and I usually have a good idea of what is expected. Usually there are some yummy treats, costume contests and fun games in the itinerary, but last year I was asked to do only healthy Halloween Snacks.

I thought it was going to be tough finding some cute but healthy ideas, but alas, it wasn’t too hard at all. The teacher wanted 3 snacks for each of the kids so I decided to make some Ghost String Cheese, Pumpkin Clementines and Pumpkin Peach Cups.

It took a little time drawing all the faces on, but it was very simple and was perfect for the party. I thought the kids might be disappointed that they weren’t getting candy, but they loved the pumpkin and ghost faces so much, they didn’t seem to even notice!!

These aren’t only great for classroom parties but for any party. We all know that we get our fair share of treats at these types of events, so it’s nice to have a few healthy treats mixed in there. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    1. Kristyn Merkley says:

      It should be ๐Ÿ™‚

  9. Lisa Gurrola says:

    Great blog!! These are so cute. Any ideas on how to get the sharpie to keep working, especially on the cuties. Someone told me it was the wax they put on them that makes the sharpie not work, but I’m not sure what to do about it.

  10. Grace says:

    Thank you for this! I was tasked with healthy Halloween snacks last year and I’ll be stashing these ideas for next time! We had our Cub Scouts make ‘boo’nanas–I thought they’d be a little let down since it was just halved bananas on a popsicle stick and mini choco chips to make eyes and an ‘o’ shaped mouth. They loved it! Your ideas would travel home better. ๐Ÿ˜‰
