Favorite Healthy Halloween Treats And Snacks You Can Make In 5 Minutes

Healthy Halloween Treats

Admittedly, turning food into art is not something I have much patience for—but doing a super easy Halloween treat in a fun design is something I actually love doing with my kids. The key? Keep the idea really simple and easy to execute with a few simple methods that work across a range of foods. And to not worry (at all!) about perfection. The goal is to do an activity together that the kids can eat—or to make them a fun snack!—and enjoy the process.

1. Silly Face Smoothie

Make a green smoothie for kids. top with granola for hair, dried fruit (like cranberries or raisins) for eyes, and mini marshmallows for funny teeth. The kids will need to eat the face with a spoon (it would get stuck in a straw!), but it’s a really fun idea to do together. You could also do this on a bowl of yogurt to make it even faster.

2. Halloween Toast

These have been in a classic in my house for years and my girls love them each time we make them. These are such a fun breakfast, but they also work as a special snacks.

3. Side Eye Snack Bar

Add funny eyes to a homemade granola bar, Chocolate Protein Muffin, or any other food you want! Roll cream cheese into two small balls and place on the food. Press a mini chocolate chip into each. (You can also use candy eyes if you prefer too.)

4. Ghost English Muffin Pizza

Top a toasted English Muffin with pizza sauce or pesto, and top with a ghost cut out from a slice of cheese for a Halloween snack or dinner. (Literally just use a knife to make a rough ghost shape from a piece of sliced cheese!) Poke two eyes and serve it as is, or melt the cheese quickly in the oven or microwave.

5. Mummy Crackers

Here’s a savory Halloween treat for snack time: Top whole grain round crackers with shredded cheese. You can even add slices of black olives for eyes if you want to! Easy peasy!

6. Spooky Energy Bite Spiders

Adding pretzel legs and raisin eyes to Peanut Butter Oatmeal Energy Balls and turn them into instant spiders. So fun!

8. Green Muffins

My Spinach Banana muffins are fun for Halloween, no matter how you serve them, but they are a little extra when you top them with frosting and sprinkles!

9. Fruit and Yogurt Candy Corn

Place Greek yogurt into a bowl. Top with diced yellow fruit (yellow kiwi or pineapple), orange fruit (clementines or cantaloupe) and white (banana, melon, or coconut). You could also use orange fruit to make a pumpkin shape, or really just set out the toppings and let the kids make their own design!

10. Green Zombie Lunch

Serve up an assortment of green foods for a festive Halloween treat lunch. We like to include foods such as Spinach Banana Muffins, Snap Pea Crisps, kiwi, edamame, and cucumbers.

11. Strawberry Ghosts

Dipping strawberries into Greek yogurt is a fun activity to do together and it’s a healthy Halloween treat to share.

12. Pumpkin Donuts

With an easy combo of ingredients and a simple method that uses a donut pan, these donuts are a fun Halloween snack for sure. I’d love to hear your feedback if you try any of these ideas with your kids. Please comment below—I love hearing how ideas and recipes go in your homes!
