Terri Ramsey Beavers This Halloween, let’s brew up something spooktacularly unique for trick-or-treaters—healthy handouts that are just as exciting as they are good for you! No need to fill that bowl with sugary treats when you can surprise your neighborhood goblins with something healthy, fun, and unforgettable.
1. Boo-nanas
Wrap peeled bananas in a thin layer of plastic wrap or cheesecloth, then draw little ghost faces with edible markers. These “Boo-nanas” are fun, simple, and scream delicious!
2. Monster Eyeball Eggs
Hard-boil some eggs and use a tiny slice of black olive in the center to create a spooky monster eye. Draw little bloodshot lines using food-safe red dye for that extra eerie touch!
3. Cauldron of Crunch
Hand out single-serve packs of roasted chickpeas, edamame, or veggie chips. Present them in mini black cauldrons or decorate them with witches’ broomstick labels for a crunchy cauldron snack!
4. Zombie Fingers Carrot Sticks
Create the ultimate spooky veggie snack with baby carrots and a dab of hummus or guacamole for “zombie fingers.” Add a sliced almond or pepper strip as the fingernail for a truly terrifying look.
5. Skeleton Bone Breadsticks
Bake some whole wheat breadsticks and shape them like skeleton bones. Serve with small dips of marinara “blood” sauce, packed in tiny clear pouches.
6. Witch’s Broomstick Cheese Snacks
Use pretzel sticks as the handle, and slice up string cheese for the broom bristles. Tie a thin chive around it to complete the witchy look!
7. Ghoulish Guacamole Cups
Prepare individual guacamole cups with a few blue corn tortilla chips sticking out to look like ghost arms emerging from the swampy green guac. Add a small haunted house sticker on the cup for extra spooky vibes!
8. Vampire’s Blood Popsicles
Blend up some fresh berries with a little honey or juice and freeze into blood-red popsicle molds. Hand these out for a chilly, fang-tastic treat!
Turn this Halloween into a ghoulishly healthy celebration by handing out these creative snacks that scream “fun” without the sugar rush. Be the house everyone talks about—where treats are both wickedly fun and mysteriously good for you!
