    Bloody Bandaids

    Shila:  If your kids appreciate Halloween snack ideas that are a little bit revolting, try these bloody bandaids! Graham crackers are the "bandages," a dab of white frosting is the "gauze," and a smudge of raspberry or strawberry jam is the "blood."

    Halloween Kabobs

    Shila:  Here's a good way to incorporate fruit and protein as healthy Halloween snack ideas. Using "Halloween colors" (black, orange, deep purple, bright green), skewer a pattern of blackberries, cantaloupe or cheddar cheese, and grapes to create easy Halloween kabobs. Kids will love eating them, and their little bodies will love the nutrients too!

    Caramel Apple Nachos

    Shila:   Caramel apple "nachos" are a delicious Halloween snack. Layer a plate of thinly-sliced green or red apples with a drizzle of caramel and candy sprinkles. Customize this dish however you wish!

    Monster Blood and Guts

    Shila:  "Monster Blood and Guts" is actually oven-baked cinnamon roll pull-apart bread with raspberry jam. Present this "trick" as a Halloween treat and your kids will love it! From Lauren's Latest

    Banana Ghosts

    Shila:  Banana ghosts make healthy and delicious Halloween themed snacks, and they couldn't be easier to prepare. Start by cutting one banana in half. Then, pin three miniature chocolate chips to make a ghostly face. Some recipes call to coat the banana in melted white chocolate, and that's a tasty dessert option too.

    Easy Pretzel Bones

    Shila:  Chocolate covered pretzel bones are savory and sweet Halloween snacks! The design begins by pressing two mini marshmallows onto the tips of a pretzel rod using melted white chocolate as the binder. Once set, the whole rod gets full coverage of even more white chocolate creating what resembles skeleton bones. From Simple & Seasonal

    Candy Corn Fruit Parfait

    Sarah Calamita:  This is a cute dessert! Mandarin oranges, pineapples and coconut whip cream or plain greek yogurt layer to make a "candy corn". But healthier than candy corn candies! From Keeping The Peas

    Clementine Pumpkin

    Sarah Calamita:  Peel a small orange and add a celery stem! From Health Home & Happiness

    Vampire Apples

    Sue Krawitz Tandoc:  Your kids will get a kick out of these "vampire teeth" apples made with almond butter, mini marshmallows and tart, crunchy Granny Smith apples. You can substitute the almond butter for any nut butter that works for your family (peanut, soy, sunflower, cashew). Take a bite and enjoy! From Savory

    "Devil"ed Eggs

    Shila:  My kids love deviled eggs any day, but for a Halloween snack idea, try dressing these hard-boiled eggs up as... devils, of course! Garnish with "horns" and/or a "tail" cut from a red bell pepper. A dusting of red paprika adds a nice touch, too.

    Mini Spider Pizza

    Sarah Calamita:  These are sooo easy to make and your kid will get a kick out of it! From TipBuzz

    Oreo Dirt Cups

    Kelly R:  This dirt dessert is a classic kid favorite, and has just the right amount of "ick" factor for a Halloween treat! Make it in individual clear cups for perfect portable Halloween party snacks, or you can assemble the whole thing in a big dish or sand pail with a shovel scoop. One of my kids is still talking about the time a friend of ours did this at a gathering years ago! From Shari Blogs

    Jack-o'-Lantern Oranges

    Kelly R:  Use a permanent marker to draw jack-o'-lantern faces on any size oranges...navel and cuties both work great. These make fun peelable Halloween snacks that double as decor until you eat them!
