Halloween Snacks for Kids

Halloween Snacks for Kids

Easy to make, kid friendly, snacks for the Halloween season. These are great for kids to help create. These treats are made out of apples, celery sticks, peanut butter (cheese can be substituted), pumpkin granola bars, and some semi-sweet morsels, and will have kids coming back for seconds throughout the Halloween season.

Creepy Crawlers

Using Celery Sticks and Peanut Butter and Pretzels, let the kids have some fun creating centipedes, bats, spiders, and maybe a made up creepy crawler. Raisins can be used as eyes, if desired.

Pumpkin Face Apples

Adults:
  • Cut an apple into fours (cut each side off of the apple)
  • Using a paring knife, cut out a pumpkin face on the flesh side, gently, without piercing all the way to the skin
  • Let the kids place semi-sweet morsels into the mouth and eyes (can also use raisins)
Sweet and Salty Pumpkin Granola

Ingredients=1 serving:

  • 1 Sun-Belt pumpkin Granola Bar
  • 2-3 Tablespoons semi-sweet or butterscotch morsel
  • 2 Tablespoons peanuts
Directions:

Let the children break up their granola bars into a bowl, mix in the remaining ingredients, and serve along side some cold or hot cider for an after school snack.

There are so many fun creative things to do with food during this time of year, and it is always fun to hand a child some food items just to see what they will come up with and it may even shock parents to see what their kids will eat when it is their creation. Happy Fall!!!
