Fruit Ideas
Green, Orange, White Fruit Cups
Draw on see-through cups with Sharpie and fill with appropriate colored-fruit, such as:
- Frankenstein: green grapes and blueberries
- Jack o Lantern: peaches, clementines, cantaloupe
- Ghost: bananas, apples
Silly Apple Bites
Here's another way to serve apples. And all the ingredients you see here are vegan. (via Fork and Beans)
Clementine Pumpkins
Simply peel a clementine or tangerine and add a piece of celery stalk. (via Brendid)
Kiwi Frankenstein
Another fun way to peel a fruit, this time kiwi with the skin left on as the hair. Then add pretzel sticks. (via Two Healthy Kitchens)
Banana Mummies and Ghosts Popsicles
This 15-minute recipe involves dipping the banana in Greek yogurt and peanut butter instead of white chocolate. (via Well Plated)
Fruit Skewer Bats
These kebabs have blackberries, grapes, and cantaloupe and omit the usual marshmallows that usually are included on these snack sticks. Use pom poms and paper wings to create the bat topper. (via Tikkido)
"Candy Corn" Parfaits
A healthier treat inspired by the traditional Halloween sweet is this parfait, with fresh fruit and lighter whipped topping made from Greek yogurt. (via Skinny Taste)
Appetizers & Vegetables
Hummus Pumpkin Patch
Carrots in hummus are a delicious, healthy snack. (via Party Tipz)
Caprese Salad Eyeballs
Now that it's been mentioned, the layering is reminiscent of eyeballs. Won't look at caprese the same again. (via Ciera Design)
7-Layer Taco Dip Spiderweb
Beans, salsa, shredded lettuce, olives, cheese, tomato, guacamole and sour cream in the design of a spiderweb. (via Mind Over Munch)
Deviled Eggs
Create these 4 different designs, a devil, spider, pumpkin, and one-eyed monster, from bell peppers, chives, and olives. (via Aberdeen’s Kitchen)
Veggie Crudite Skeleton
Here’s a fun way to serve a whole variety of vegetables, such as: lettuce, olives, dip, celery, carrots, bell peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, and cucumbers. (via Key Ingredient)
Roasted Vegetables
Warm up sweet potatoes, carrots, and beets and top with balsamic and honey for these fun Halloween-shaped veggies (via Live Eat Learn)
Spiders on a Log
What a clever variation of Ants on a Log to fit the Halloween theme. (via On My Kids Plate)
Snacks
Mummy Granola Bars
This granola is made of shredded coconut, Rice Krispies, oats, almonds, almond butter, honey, brown sugar, and chocolate chips. (via Tara’s Multicultural Table)
Bat Energy Bites
This high protein snack has peanut butter, honey, oats, Rice Krispies, cocoa powder, honey, and vanilla. The bat wings are made with blue tortilla chips. (via Chelsea’s Messy Apron)
Ritz Cracker Spiders
It's easy to sandwich your preferred filling of choice between two Ritz crackers for a sweet or savory snack. I personally would use cranberries for the eyes to give it more of an eerie effect. (via La Jolla Mom)
Hard Boiled Egg Ghost
So easy to make the ghost design. All you need is a straw. (via Kid Friendly Things to Do)
Jack o’ Lantern Smoothie Bowl
This cute halloween treat is made from mango, Greek yogurt, strawberries, chia seeds (via Eating Well)
Avocado Toast Frankenstein
This is another vegan recipe. If you can't find nori (seaweed) at your local grocery store or Asian market, you can also substitute with olives. (via Vegan Chowdown)
Peanut Butter Jelly Spiders
A Halloween-inspired take on the classic childhood sandwich. (via Crafty Morning)
Jack o’ Lantern Stuffed Bell Pepper
This paleo, vegan, gluten-free, and whole30-friendly recipe is zoodle (zucchini noodle) pasta with a pumpkin kale pesto. (via Tasting Page)
Desserts
Brownie Mice
These healthy, no bake brownie bites are gluten-free and contain pumpkin and sesame seeds. (via Kitchen at Hoskins)
Cookie Mummies
These vegan butternut squash cookies have many aromatic fall spices like nutmeg and cinnamon. (via Healthy Nibbles and Bits)
