10 Halloween Snacks for School

1. Fruit and veggie cups with dipping sauce are always a hit with little kids. I even created printable treat toppers for you that say “Fruit Doesn’t Scare Me!” or “Veggies Don’t Scare Me!” Get your copy HERE.

2. Ghost Bananas and Tangerine Pumpkins: These are quite possibly the cutest snacks ever! Invite kids to add 3 chocolate chips to half a banana to make ghosts. The pumpkins are peeled tangerines with a piece of celery added as a stalk. Eating fruit has never been so much fun!

3. Kids will love eating the fruit from these Pumpkin Fruit Skewers!

4. Mummy Juice Boxes are super easy to make and even more fun to drink!

5. Spiders on a Log: A fun Halloween twist on the traditional ants on a log snack; celery, peanut butter, and raisins. Invite children to spread peanut butter on celery stalks and add raisins to represent spiders. Even your littlest party goers can make this one. You can use cream cheese as an alternative if you have children with peanut allergies.

Slice the bottom of the cheese up to create the whisps of the room. This would be the perfect snack to go along with the book Room on the Broom!
