1. Banana Ghosts: Half of a banana decorated with chocolate chips, edible google eyes or a little frosting makes for a cute and healthy treat!
2. Orange Pumpkins: Little mandarins or clementines are easily turned into cute little pumpkins with just a simple stalk of celery poked in the top!
3. Cheese String Fingers: Cheese strings and sliced almonds become cheesy witches fingers in just seconds! Press a slice of almond into the end of the cheese stringer for the nail and cut little slits in the cheese string for knuckles. Love these!
4. Apple Monster Mouths: Cut an apple into quarters, remove the seeds and remove a wedge from each. Fill the mouth with peanut butter and yogurt covered raisins or almonds.
5. Roasted Pumpkin Seeds: For older kids, roasted pumpkin seeds are a deliciously healthy snack! To roast your own pumpkin seeds, preheat the oven to 300°F. Wash your seeds removing any pumpkin pulp, toss with a little bit of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Bake 45 minutes.
6. Pumpkin Pie Dip: This is a delicious dip for fruit or graham crackers… and pumpkin is full of fiber and vitamins! Pumpkin Pie Dip recipe here!
7. Spider Deviled Eggs: Make a traditional deviled egg. Chop a black olive in half. The first half will be the body. Slice legs out of the other half.
8. Witches Brooms Cheese & Pretzels: Here’s another adorable idea! Pretzels & string cheese make a yummy little witches broom snack! Fun for any age!
