It’s not as bad as it sounds. This gross looking snack is made with graham crackers, cream cheese or white frosting and strawberry jelly or red decorator’s gel. Serve this fun Halloween treat on a plate with real band-aids.

Halloween Smoothie

If you’re trying to add more vegetables to your child’s diet, this is a great option. My son is usually picky about certain vegetables. Making a smoothie is a wonderful way to get those picky eaters to try vegetables in a fun way. This Halloween smoothie contains carrots, apples, frozen mango, and celery.

Monster Teeth

Start by sectioning each apple then sprinkle with lemon juice. This stops the apple from browning. Next, spread a little peanut butter (or sunflower seed butter) on each slice of apple. Finally, place about 4-6 yogurt covered berries in the peanut butter. Then, place a second peanut butter-covered apple slice on top. Make sure to place in the refrigerator for one hour before serving this fun and healthy Halloween snack.

Cheesy Witch Brooms

Use a knife to cut the string cheese into two then fray the bottom half. Last, add a pretzel stick then tie with a fresh chive or scallion.

Cinnamon Sugar Bats

Use a bat-shaped cookie cutter to create this adorable snack. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Next, cut the bat shapes out of each flour tortilla. Mix sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Then, spread on a small plate. Melt butter in a small bowl. Then, dip the tortilla pieces in it. Coat only one side of the tortilla with the cinnamon sugar. Place on a lined baking tray. Bake for 10 minutes to complete this healthy Halloween snack.

Spiders on a Log

I know you probably heard of ants on a log but this is the Halloween version. First, cut the celery stalks into 2 inch-long pieces. Next, add a small amount of peanut butter. Finally, add a small plastic spider or a plastic spider ring on top of the peanut butter.
