Healthy Snacks for Kids Halloween Parties
Whether you are the room mom for your child's classroom or planning a Halloween party for the kids at home, chances are you want to have a variety of healthy, yet appealing, Halloween party foods to balance out all of the candy the kids will inevitably be receiving!
Find all of the Halloween items mentioned in this article online or at your local craft store.
Halloween Shaped Cheese and Crackers
Use a set of mini Halloween cookie cutters to cut small pumpkin and moon shapes out of cheddar cheese slices and ghost and skeleton shapes out of jack or mozzarella cheese slices. Top your favorite crackers with these cheese cutouts for a festive, healthy snack. (I like the Wilton 6 Piece Halloween Mini Metal Cookie Cutter Set only $4.76 for a set of 6 from Amazon for this project.)
Trick-or-Treat Trail Mix
Mix equal amounts of small pretzel shapes, orange crackers (such as Whole Grain Goldfish or Cheez-its), raisins, and Halloween mix M&Ms. Divide the mix into Halloween cupcake wrappers or snack sized baggies with a cute Halloween sticker. (Martha Stewart Crafts Happy Halloween Cupcake Wrappers $7.10 at Amazon)
Monster Mash Dips
Serve up a colorful trio of kid friendly dips such as guacamole, ranch dressing, and mild salsa with cut up carrots, celery, cucumbers, mushrooms, and baked tortilla chips. The trio of dips is especially appealing in small Halloween themed bowls or a cute and creepy dip bowl like this one: Boston Warehouse Bone Collector 3-Section Server .
Spooky Sandwiches
Make several kid friendly sandwiches, such as ham and cheese. Use a Halloween shaped cookie cutter to cut the sandwiches into pumpkin, bat, or ghost shapes. Save the scraps for treats to hand out to dressed up pooches accompanying their kids on Halloween night. (Wilton 4-Piece Grippy Halloween Cookie Cutter Set $6.79 at Amazon.com)
Pumpkin Potion
Serve your young guests clear cups filled with 100% white grape juice-or other light colored juice-and drop in pumpkin shaped ice cubes made from orange juice instead of water. (Rubber Ice Cube Tray for Halloween Pumpkins, $1.99 at Amazon)
