Healthy Halloween party snack ideas for kids that you will love!
Halloween snacks don’t need to be made with candy to be cool, fun, and delicious. Instead, try these healthy Halloween party snack ideas for kids this year and see what the kids think. Chances are, they will not say a word and eat them up because of all the cuteness!
So you’re looking for Halloween snack ideas for your kid’s party at school or perhaps something fun to take to the office? While you can find many creative Halloween recipes online all day long, you may have to search a little further if you’re looking for something healthy. I’ve got a few ideas here that are healthy enough and fun enough for both kids and adults to enjoy.
Healthy Halloween Time
Halloween is a time for kids to have fun dressing up and do some trick-or-treating around the neighborhood. Many schools have Halloween parties and ask children to bring in a treat for the class to share. If you have the time, you can bake up healthy snacks such as carrot cupcakes or banana bread, or you can make the ones I’m sharing here.
Halloween Party Snack – Green Ghouls
The above photo shows adorable ghouls. Here’s what you need and how to make them.
- kiwi
- strawberry
- mini marshmallows (the healthy kind if there’s such a thing)
- chocolate dots, or melted chocolate.
- Grab a toothpick and put it all together. How sweet is this!
Snack Mix Recipe
Mix up a large bowl of snack mix for Halloween using the following ingredients:
- 2 cups Cheerios cereal
- 1 cup of organic dark chocolate pieces
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup almonds
- 1/4 cup coconut shreds
Toss all the ingredients together and serve as each snack in bowls or place in a large bowl for everyone to share. You can even place a cup full in cello bags to hand out to trick or treaters. This recipe is so easy to change too. Have fun with it, but keep it healthy.
Halloween Nut-Free Treats for Kids
It’s important to remember that many schools have a nut-free policy within the entire school or maybe just in your child’s classroom. Check ingredient labels to see if products are made “In a nut-free facility” or “made in a facility that processes nuts.” If a package does not show whether it is nut-free, don’t take the chance and choose different products to use in your recipe.
Ghosts and Pumpkin Snack Party Idea for Kids
Make something fun that the kids and even the teacher will get a kick out of. For these healthy Halloween ghosts and pumpkin snacks, you’ll need bananas, oranges, celery, and melted chocolate (dark). Arrange on a platter, and you’re good to go!
Cookie Decorating Ideas for Halloween
The internet is full of fun sites offering various Halloween cookie decorating ideas. Recipe sites such as All Recipes, Amazing Moms, and Family Fun have fantastic decorating ideas that are easy to do and wonderful for display. Many recipes allow you to cut the sugar for icing for a healthier but still tasty Halloween snack. I constantly change recipes for “healthier” food.
Halloween Lunch Ideas for Kids
Make platters of orange cheese cubes, green celery, red grapes, cherry tomatoes, orange bell pepper slices, and sliced mangoes for lunches.
Traditional Halloween colors are orange, black, red, and yellow, so find healthy foods with those colors and get creative with lunch platters. You can make ghost or pumpkin sandwiches by cutting the bread into desired shapes.
Remember to shop the aisles at the grocery store for healthy Halloween snack ideas for kids and have fun with them.
