Forget Candy – Here Are Healthy Treats to Give Out at Halloween

“Trick or Treat!” There’s no trick here; just healthy Halloween treats; it’s great to have a spooktacular day without breaking the bank or making an unscheduled trip to the dentist. It’s understandable when you go all out for Halloween Celebrations. This is the perfect time to splurge on your favorite candies, but how about you take a break from them, then serve up some surprisingly nutritious Halloween treats. Try some delicious sweets and easy cocktails, as well as seasonal menus and kid-friendly nibbles that kids and kids-at-heart will surely spooktacularly enjoy!

1. Black Sesame Cupcakes.

These brightly colored sweets aren’t made with any additives. Chocolate cupcakes with black sesame seed and antioxidant-rich dark cocoa powder have a velvety texture and a deep black hue. You’ll love these healthier treats since they’re packed with flavor and decorated with all the festive excitement you could want.

2. Chocolate Halloween Cut-Outs Cookie.

These charming, Halloween-themed biscuits will undoubtedly impress your guests. Let your kids help decorate for the holidays with a fun craft. Cookies are much preferred for this activity than chocolate candy bars since they’re healthier and can be decorated in different ways. If you can’t find orange food coloring, you can make your own by mixing red and yellow food colorings. 

3. Banana Ghosts.

A simple way to make banana ghosts is to cut the banana in half and insert two little chocolate chips for the eyes. It’s also possible to coat them in coconut, yogurt, or graham cracker crumbs before serving. 

4. Yummy Spiders.

Use four little pretzel sticks on each side of your favorite round crackers covered with peanut or almond butter for the legs. And for the eyes can be glued on two chocolate chips with a teeny dot of cream cheese with a second cracker. You can always improvise if your kids are allergic to nuts.

5. Monster Melon Mouth.

Use toothpicks to attach zucchini rounds with black olive pupils to the eyes of a monster-shaped watermelon mouth, then eat it up! Make your frightening creature’s mouth spit out mixed fruit like strawberries, pineapple, and grapes.

6. Mummy Raisin Boxes.

Using masking tape and googly eyes, children can transform an ordinary raisin box into a fun snack that doubles as a craft.

7. Monster Punch.

Make a healthy smoothie punch for the kids and have them decorate transparent plastic cups to look like scary monsters. Contests for fun flavors like green apple ghoul or purple zombie passion could be a good idea.

8. Devil Eggs.

The edible eyes and horns on these deviled eggs live up to their name. A squadron of Cyclops eggs might be made using just an olive slice instead of horns, or you could combine the two methods. This pimento cheese-style filling is made with pimientos and sharp cheddar cheese, which gives the yolk combination a Halloween-yellow color.

9. Chocolate Almond Butter Cups.

It’s surprisingly simple to make your chocolate-covered peanut butter cup candy at home. In the absence of almonds, peanut butter can be used instead. These cups have a refined flavor thanks to the addition of chopped almonds and flaky salt—microwave one bar of chocolate simultaneously for the top layer and one for the bottom layer.

10. Strawberry Ghosts.

Strawberry ghosts can be made by dipping them in white chocolate, then inserting chocolate chips in the shape of eyes and a Cheerio in the form of a mouth.

11. Clementine Pumpkins.

Children will have a great time using a Sharpie to decorate the peel of clementine cuties to create a spectacular Halloween decoration that can also be enjoyed as a nutritious snack.

12. Cheesy Designs. 

Use cookie cutters in the shape of Halloween decorations to make cheese in various forms, as well as Halloween-themed cheese sandwiches.

13. Popcorn Hands.

Place one candy corn at the end of each fingertip of a clear plastic glove, the kind used to serve food that can be purchased online or at a store that supplies party essentials, and then stuff the other fingers and the hand of the glove with popcorn. Orange and black twisty ties should be used to fasten the bottoms.

14. Raisins.

It will be challenging to convince children to buy them because some children are enthusiastic about them while others are not a fan of them. However, if you purchase the raisins in smaller boxes, they have the appearance of candy and are also presented similarly. Therefore, to increase the candy-like quality even further, combine one cup of raisins with a quarter cup of chocolate chips and then divide the mixture into the correct number of servings. The children will get a taste of chocolate while still benefiting from the nutrients if you prepare it.

15. Sweet Potato Fries.

You won’t tell the kids what this is since you don’t want to ruin the surprise for them, but it’s an interesting one nonetheless. Instead of handing out these goods to the children at your Halloween party, have them participate in this fun activity. Begin by peeling some sweet potatoes and chopping them into wedges. Then season them in a bowl with any additional spices you think are necessary. Once you’ve given the French fries one quick shake and arranged them into one single layer on a 450-degree pre-heated baking sheet, return the baking sheet to the oven for an additional 10 minutes. Flip the fries over and wait for another 10 minutes before continuing to cook them. 

Halloween, just like Christmas and any other special occasion, is when it’s easy to let our inhibitions get the better of us and eat as many sweets as we want. Anyway, who doesn’t enjoy the opportunity to dress up as a cat and play with pumpkins during the Halloween season? On the other side, eating highly processed candy high in sugar is a surefire way to get cavities, hormonal imbalances, and a bad case of hiccups. Traditional candy contains artificial colors, supposedly natural flavors, processed sugars, and hydrogenated oils. Are you worried that your next Halloween Party will be a failure? Because of the absence of these inviting, energy-pumped sweets well, a plethora of nutritious Halloween treats may be created at home. Remember that sugar is connected to obesity, cardiovascular disease risk, dental problems, and mental health issues in youngsters. You are undoubtedly aware of the consequences of overeating sugar; this has been in the news for years. There’s no better time than now to break the cycle of manufactured confectionery! Healthy treats can be made at home instead of purchasing them at the shop.
