2. Spooky Fruit Kabobs


Turn ordinary fruit into bewitching treats by assembling spooky fruit kabobs. Slide a mix of seasonal fruits like oranges, grapes, and kiwis onto skewers to create a vibrant and healthy treat. For an added touch of Halloween flair, top them with marshmallow ghosts or edible googly eyes. These fruity delights are a refreshing alternative to sugary sweets and an absolute hit with little ghouls and goblins.


3. Mummy Bananas


Peel bananas, cut them in half, and insert lolly sticks to create mummies. Drizzle melted white chocolate over the bananas in a crisscross pattern to resemble bandages. Add mini chocolate chips for eyes, and you have a spook-tacular and nutritious Halloween snack that is both fun to make and delightful to eat!


4. Creepy-Crawly Spider Deviled Eggs


Give a creepy twist to traditional deviled eggs by transforming them into spider deviled eggs. Prepare deviled eggs as usual, and then use black olives to create spider bodies on top. Lay olive slices as legs, and watch as these eerie yet delicious treats disappear off the platter in no time.


5. Witch’s Broomstick Snacks


For a savoury treat, create witch’s broomstick snacks using pretzel sticks and string cheese. Simply cut fringes at one end of a cheese stick, then insert a pretzel stick into the uncut side. Voila! You have edible witch’s broomsticks that are not only adorable but also healthy and fun to eat.
