Halloween is one of my favorite times of year. I love all things pumpkin, fall, and apple. Halloween and fall, in general, can also be a time of sugar overload since many people have festive Halloween parties and go Trick or Treating. Because of this, I like to create fun side dishes that are kid-friendly and healthy. If you're going to a Halloween pot luck this weekend, here are a few of my favorite healthy Halloween snack ideas for kids:
Frozen "Boo-Nana" Pops from Skinnytaste
I love these simple treats. Though the recipe calls for white chocolate to coat the bananas, you don't have to follow that part if you're opting for a healthier choice. You can simple stick on some chocolate chip eyes and call it good!
Talk about easy! All you need are some clementines and a Sharpie. Draw on some cute jack o'lantern faces, and you're good to go.
Mozzarella Stick Ghosts from Midget Momma
These are even easier. All you need is a Sharpie and some mozzarella cheese sticks. Draw a ghost face on each cheese stick, and voila! The perfect kid-friendly snack.
Candy Corn Fruit Cocktail by Family Fresh Meals
These are a huge hit at any Halloween party and give that perfect taste of sweetness without a sugar rush!
Dress Up Your Pouch, from See Vanessa Craft
It doesn't get much cuter than this. Kids love pouches, and what a fun twist on an already classic snack staple!
What do you think, Austin parents? Will you be trying any of these great Halloween ideas?
