    Kelly R said:  These easy Halloween snacks have the sweet and salty magic that my family loves! Choose your favorite Hershey kiss flavor (there are sometimes fun ones for fall), melt them onto pretzels, and top with a candy corn. The hardest part is unwrapping all of the chocolates, and the kids can help with that. From Sally's Baking Addiction

Use whatever homemade or store bought guacamole you like best, and scale it up or down depending on whether you're feeding your family or serving Halloween party snacks. From Taste of Home

    Sue Krawitz Tandoc said:  These healthy snacks might look too spooky to eat! Take carrots or cheese sticks and transform them into finger-looking masterpieces with a little bit of hummus and silvered almonds. If your child is allergic to nuts, you can create the "fingernail" with a small sliver of fruit, and it'll be a bonus if it looks like a painted nail! From Weelicious
