Healthy Halloween Treats for You and the Kids!

Posted September 30, 2023
By Janis Hauser

Here are some super cute and healthy Halloween treats to make with the kids. PLUS some low-carb Halloween ideas that will help you stay on track too!

Be sure to make these early in the day so you and the kids can fill up on healthy treats before trick-or-treating.

Healthy Halloween Treats for the Kids

Your kids will love these healthy Halloween treats made from apples, oranges, and bananas.

Apple Monsters

Instead of sugary candy, try making these healthy Halloween treats with the kids this year!

Ingredients:
Granny Smith apples
Peanut butter
Strawberry slices
Sunflower seeds
Candy eyes

Instructions:

  1. Quarter and core the apples. Cut a wedge for a mouth out on the skin side.
  2. Press sunflower seeds on the upper edge of the wedge cut out for teeth.
  3. Use a butter knife to dab some peanut butter inside the lower edge of the wedge cut out. Press a thin strawberry slice on top of the peanut butter for the tongue.
  4. Dab a little peanut butter on the backs of the candy eyes and press above the wedge mouth to complete the face.

No-carve Pumpkins

For most parents, Halloween is a hectic night. So these little cuties are just the no-muss thing to create a festive healthy Halloween treat platter.

There's no need to slave over healthy Halloween treats; just grab a sharpie and draw whimsical faces on some tangerines for healthy snacks.

Ingredients:
Clementines or tangerines
Cilantro leaves (optional)

Instructions:

  1. With a Sharpie pen, draw cute pumpkin faces on the skin and arrange on a plate.
  2. Place cilantro leaves on top as pumpkin ‘leaves.’

Tangerine Pumpkins

A pre-peeled orange can encourage little ones to grab them for healthy Halloween treats before grabbing for candy.

Peel some tangerines and stick a little zucchini stem in the top for a festive and healthy Halloween treat.
Ingredients:
Oranges
Celery or zucchini sticks

Instructions:

  1. On unpeeled oranges, use a paring knife to cut little triangle eyes, noses, and mouths into oranges. Arrange on a platter.
  2. Peel several oranges and arrange on a platter. Insert celery or zucchini stick in the center to make a stem for each orange.

Banana Ghosties


Ingredients:
Ripe bananas
6 chocolate chips per banana

Instructions:

  1. Peel bananas and cut them in half. You may need to level the cut a little so the banana can stand upright if you are displaying them on a fruit tray.
  2. Press two chips on the banana’s ‘face’ for eyes, one chip in for a mouth. Arrange on a plate.

    So much adorableness! I love all those foods and will plan to make some this weekend with my kiddos. I love that you said “plan for the aftermath.” I usually try to sneak as much of the candy to work for my co-workers (better them than me) to have in the breakroom the day after a big candy holiday!
