Oh, the Halloween Treats!

For the next month, we will be inundated with all kinds of sweets. Among the many events available for kids—school parties and, of course, trick-or-treating—children bring home more treats than one knows what to do with. To lessen the sugar impact, we have a few healthier options listed below, along with some easy, creative treats too. Enjoy and have fun making these cute treats!

Pumpkin or Ghost Faces on Fruit

Get creative with your fruit by transforming them into adorable pumpkin or ghost faces! Use a permanent marker or edible food coloring to draw faces on oranges, bananas, or apples. Not only does this make fruit fun and festive, but it also encourages kids to grab a healthier option.

Wrap Fruit Pouches or Juice Boxes Like Mummies

Make snack time exciting by wrapping fruit pouches or juice boxes in white gauze or tissue paper to resemble mummies. Add googly eyes for an extra spooky touch! This fun presentation will make kids more eager to enjoy their healthy snack or drinks.

Lollipop with Tissue Ghost

Create cute lollipop ghosts by wrapping a tissue over the top of a lollipop and tying it with a string or ribbon. Draw eyes with a marker, and you have an adorable treat that’s sure to delight! This simple craft is perfect for little hands and makes a great addition to any Halloween goodie bag.

S’mores Pack Treats

For a cozy and delicious twist, prepare S’mores pack treats! Use small bags to include graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate pieces. Kids will love assembling their own S’mores, making it a fun activity for Halloween gatherings or parties.

Pretzel Brooms

Another spooktacular treat this Halloween is pretzel brooms. They are as fun to create as they are to eat! These adorable snacks are a healthier option perfect for parties, school lunches, or goodie bags. Simply add pretzel sticks to a small goodie bag, insert a Halloween pencil, and tie the bag with a ribbon. Not only are these treats a hit with kids, but they also make a fantastic craft project for a Halloween-themed get-together. So gather your little witches and wizards, and let the broom-making magic begin!
