Are your kids ready to celebrate Halloween tomorrow? Here are a few healthy alternatives to candy that you can serve at your Halloween party or have your kids snack on at home!

Healthy Halloween Snacks:

  • Clementine Pumpkins - Clementines can look like tiny pumpkins. Just draw a jack-o-lantern face with safe markers and peel it away for a sweet, healthy snack.
  • Spiders on a Log - Peanut butter and celery sticks are a common kids snack. While they're usually called ants on a log, try replacing the raisins with black spider rings!
  • Ghost Bananas and Strawberries - Try dipping your favorite fruit in white chocolate. Use chocolate chips or cake decorating gel for the mouth and eyes.
  • Scary Teeth - Smear peanut butter on apple slices and use miniature white marshmallows to create rows of teeth.
