Parents can offer a variety of quality snack foods like fruits, vegetables, and dips to balance out all of the sugary treats. Candy is fine in moderation for kids that are old enough to eat it safely.

Although there is nothing wrong with an occasional sweet treat, especially when family and friends are celebrating a holiday, try to stick to healthier options too!

Fresh Fruit Snacks for Halloween

Fresh fruits are a fun way to fill up a Halloween board or platter. Come up with a fun fruit platter filled with fresh fruits such as grapes, raspberries, strawberries, and sliced apples.

Create "banana ghosts" using bananas sliced in half, with chocolate chips wit the eyes. You can even put the banana ghosts on a popsicle stick and freeze it for a cool treat.

Clementine pumpkins are easy to make, using the small oranges as pumpkins and pieces of celery sticks for the stems.

Veggie Snacks for a Halloween Party

Fruits are great, but veggies are another great way to fill up a Halloween board. Parents can offer a variety of vegetables like carrot sticks, cucumber slices, celery sticks, bell peppers, black olives, and cherry tomatoes. Always be sure to check how to cut and serve food safely for a toddler.

Reusable straws can be used to poke eyes out of carrot slices or cucumber slices. Sliced black olives make great eyeballs on foods like small sweet peppers or cucumbers.

If you're serving cut vegetables on a platter, you can make a dip using hummus and add decorations to the tray. You can also serve the hummus in a round bowl, using a few black olive slices for the eyes and pretzels or small carrots for the mouth to create a ghost face or witch face.

Protein-Rich Snacks for Toddlers

Protein-rich snacks are great for children. These include peanut butter, hummus, cheese, and meats.

You can make a peanut butter pumpkin spice dip that is a simple, delicious item to spread on fruit or crackers. Using hummus as a dip for vegetables, pretzels, and crackers can also make a tasty, nutrient-dense snack.

If you are serving these to babies, be sure to check out safety guidelines on how to serve foods with dip for infants.

Halloween Treats for Toddlers

Healthy snacks ate great, but what kids really want on Halloween are some sweet treats! You can check on social media for accounts that post family friendly recipes for Halloween foods, or come up with your own amazing recipe to celebrate spooky season!
