Ten Fun and Creepy Halloween Party Snacks

Ten Fun and Creepy Halloween Party Snacks

It doesn't matter if you have a big family or if you're on your own... Halloween is one of the most fun holidays ever invented. But if you are a busy mom (and your house is the one house on the block where everyone goes for Halloween parties) you may be looking for some quick and easy Halloween party snacks to have ready for kids, visitors, guests, and freeloading adult friends while the Halloween season.

Looking for some new ideas for festive snacks that don't take a hundred years (or work your fingers to the bone) to put together? The ten Halloween party snack ideas below are lots of fun, easy to make... And some of them are even healthy!

Crackers & Biscuits Baby Food

1. Rotting Eyes and Severed Fingers

This is a very wholesome but rather creepy Halloween party snack that makes good use of black olives and baby carrots. Dispose the black olives and baby carrots on a party tray with a bowl of your favorite dip (I like a cream cheese veggie dip). Apprise your party guests that the tray is filled with rotting black eyes and severed fingers. And then watch this snack disappear. A good way to get your kids excited about veggies!

2. Jack o' lantern Oranges

This wholesome treat is so easy to make, and looks so pretty! Carve jack-o'-lantern faces into oranges and place on a platter. The kids will love it. And they can help, too, without ever having to pick up a knife. Have them simply draw the faces on with a black marker, and carve them yourself. Or don't worry about carving them-- they look just as good with faces drawn on.

As a divergence of this fun Halloween party snack, I like to hollow out an orange with a Jack o' lantern face and fill it with fruit salad. Healthy, easy and quick!

3. Easy Bugs in the Bone Yard

This is such a fun Halloween snack for the kiddos. All you have to do? Sprinkle raisins into a bowl full of white-chocolate covered pretzels. (You could also use chocolate covered raisins.) Kids will eat them up once they learn the name of this snack. Or they'd eat it up anyway, since this mix tastes divine.

4. Slimy Halloween Jigglers

You know those Jello jiggler molds? They work great for Halloween! either use whatever you have lying colse to the house, or go out and pick up a brain or a heart-shaped Jello mold. Make up a batch of orange, black, purple, or flesh-colored Jello and pour into your mold(s). Or make a flat pan of Jello and cut out shapes with Halloween cookie cutters instead.

5. Ghost Cereal Bars

Prepare a batch of the Rice Krispies marshmallow treats method on the back of the cereal box. When the aggregate has set up, cut out shapes with ghost shaped cookie cutter. Pour warm white frosting or melted white chocolate over the shapes to cover. Add M&M eyes and mouth. A yummy and easy Halloween party snack.

6. Green Gelatin Intestines

This is one of the grosser looking Halloween party snacks. Make lime gelatin and add pineapple bits, chopped marshmallows, sliced bananas and mandarin oranges. Pour gelatin aggregate into an angel food cake pan and let set up. Invert pan to take off gelatin mold. Slice the mold horizontally into about 5 layers. Slice the layers in half and Dispose on a platter in semi-circles to look like intestines. Gross!

7. Spooky wholesome Eyeballs

This Halloween party snack is both easy and healthy. Wash a bunch of green grapes. Insert a raisin into the stem end of the grapes and ice them all until ready to serve.

8. Monster Crackers

Color some white vegetable spread or cream cheese with green food coloring and spread on your favorite crackers. Dispose small bits of green and red bell peppers to make a green-eyed, red-mouthed cracker monster. Use small amounts of broccoli sprouts to make the monster hair. A sneaky way to get kids eating their veggies.

9. Wormy Halloween Punch Recipe

No respectable Halloween party snack list would do with out having this squeamish punch. Just make green Kool-Aid and put in a clear glass punch bowl. Set the punch bowl on top of a glow necklace so the light shines through the punch bowl. Add some gummy worms and watch the kids squirm when they see it.

10. Vampire Blood

You use V8 juice for this one so it is healthier than the wormy punch above. Pour the V8 juice in a clear photo that you have labeled as "Vampire Blood." For an adult party, add the ingredients for a bloody Mary, if you like. For a kids' party, well... Good luck getting them to try it. It is V8, after all!

Ideas for Treats Instead of Halloween Candy

Ideas for Treats Instead of Halloween Candy

Most moms dread the thought of Trick or Treat bags filled with ultra-sugary candy. You want the kids to have a good time on Halloween night, but you don't want them overloading on empty calories. Tummy aches and toothaches are no fun for anyone. So this year, why not offer Halloween treats that are fun and nutritious?

Caramel Apples

Crackers & Biscuits Baby Food

Who says you have to stock up on mini candy bars and lollipops? Offer caramel dipped apples instead. Yes, the caramel counts as candy, but the apple is the star of the treat. Get the kids complicated in production this fun snack and they won't even miss the volumes of candy. You can also offer them to Trick of Treaters. Just wrap them in wax paper or cellophane after they've had a opportunity to set.

Make caramel apples by washing and drying the apples of your choice. The grocery or craft store will carry lollipop sticks during the Fall season. Place one stick in each apple so that it's firmly in place.

Now, when it comes to the caramel, there are two ways to do it. You can whether buy caramel wraps in the grocery store. They are intended for exactly this purpose. They come in thin, flat, circular discs and are ready to wrap nearby the apples. Peel off one wrap at a time and simply form it nearby the base of the dry apple. As long as your apples are dry, the caramel wrap will stick for good. If there's any moisture, the wraps will tend to slide off.

The other way to make caramel apples is the old-fashioned way. You could boil up a batch of caramel using sugar and a candy thermometer. But it's even easier to buy a few bags of caramel candies and melt them down. In a large pot that you've buttered, melt a whole bag of caramels over low heat. Stand right by the pot stirring it. Don't walk away as caramel burns very indubitably and you'll have to throw the whole batch away. When all the caramels have melted, dip one apple on a stick at a time into the molten liquid. Roll the apple nearby so that the whole thing is covered. Let it set for a few seconds and then roll it in again for a second coat. Set on wax paper with the stick standing up until set. Once all the apples are done, you can whether roll them in chopped peanuts, sprinkles, walnuts or crushed pretzels.

Other healthy Choices

It all depends on whether you're finding for alternative Halloween treats for your own children or if you're trying to come up with a healthy treat to give out to Trick or Treaters in your neighborhood. If it's for your own children, you have lots of options. You can cut cheese into fun Halloween shapes and dispose them on a funky decorated plate. You can cut their sandwiches into cat or pumpkin shapes and have a good time with the Halloween theme. You can even offer muffins with a light cream cheese frosting that you dust with edible food glitter. Do blacks and oranges for a fun look. Stick in a pumpkin or ghost shaped ornamental pick.

For Trick or Treaters, you have to be careful. You don't know who might have an allergy to something you've made. And since the goblins at your door will disappear into the night, you can't check with every one of their parents. So, instead of production something, offer store bought popcorn balls, fruit roll ups, cheese and cracker packets, juice boxes, animal crackers or fun-shaped graham crackers.

There are many ways to have a fun and healthy Halloween season. Check out grocery store displays as often there are new holiday-shaped foods that are introduced during the Fall.
