Halloween Party Snacks
Spooky season enthusiasts are already preparing for Halloween parties, and if you’re feeling a little behind on ideas you’re not alone. We’ve compiled some fun Halloween snacks for kids and adults alike to enjoy while you read some of your favorite chilling reads.
Looking to keep things a little on the healthier side? With all the candy readily available around this time it can be nice to break things up with something a little more fresh. Here are some treats that are a little better for you:
Monster mouths
This one uses apples, peanut butter, jam, and fruit to make a creepy bite. This one could be enjoyable to make with the kids, too. You’ll be making little mouths from the apple, adding teeth with slivered almonds, and using a red-colored jam or jelly to give a bloody look. Get the full recipe here: Healthy Monster Mouths
Carrot fingers & spooky hummus
This one is simple, but adds a little Halloween flair to a snack that I personally eat daily! Using almond slivers that look eerily similar to fingernails, press them into the tip of your carrot so it looks like a finger, and add a little coloring to your hummus. If you want a natural color, try looking for things like beet juice or adding pesto!
Pumpkin spice granola cups
This one is for the readers who love those fall flavors! Adding some spooky touches to these can make a delicious and healthy snack more festive. See how to make these here: Spooky Granola Cups
If you want to get a little more crafty with your Halloween morsels, there are some recipes out there that can unleash your creative side. I always love doing these with my nephew and niece so they can get their hands a little dirty.
Rice Krispie monsters: A favorite treat in my family turns into a blank canvas around this time of year. Using some colored candy melts create some bright dipping chocolate, and use festive sprinkles and candy eyes to make some monsters! Here’s what you’ll need.
Frankenstein brownies: In October an ordinary brownie looks an awful lot like a monster we adore! A bit like the Rice Krispie monsters, you can get creative with decorations here. If you’ve got some fun cookie cutters, you can make even more shapes to decorate too! See the recipe.
Halloween marshmallow pops: This is one I haven’t yet tried, but it’s on my list for this year! It’s a simple treat that is entirely customizable, and one I know my family will love creating. Make monsters, jack-o’lanterns, witches, and more. These would be great Halloween party treats! See the details.
If you’re attending or hosting a party and you’re looking to bring a festive flare to the dinner table, we’ve got options for something more hearty. Don’t celebrate without something creative, tasty, and crowd-pleasing!
Stuffed pepper Jack o’lanterns: These cute twists on a classic dish can make any party a little brighter. You need orange bell peppers for the pumpkins, and a nice pairing knife too. See the full recipe.
Meatball mummies: A bite-size treat that can be eaten easily with a toothpick. Perfect for those Halloween dinner parties. You’ll be serving up a mummy wrapped in puff pastry. Check out the full details.
Monster wraps: Wraps are easy to make and carry, and their versatile fillings can make any partygoer happy. Use some spinach wraps for color in this one, and fill it with your family’s favorites! Read the recipe.
Halloween is for more than just trick or treating! Take the time to get creative with food, drinks, and your books. Don’t worry, if you aren’t a partying type of person you can always make these snacks and curl up with a festive read to celebrate. Make this holiday your own!
