1: PB&J Spider Sandwiches 🕷️:
Cut a sandwich into a circle for the spider’s body (use a cookie cutter or cup). Add pretzel sticks for legs and chocolate chips for eyes. You can use peanut butter & jelly, peanut butter & honey, or whatever your kids love most. Cute, creepy, and delicious!
2: Witches Broom🧹:
You will only need 2 ingredients for this snack, all you need is string cheese and pretzels. Cut the cheese in half, slice little “fringe” strips at the bottom, and stick a pretzel stick in the top. Instantly — a witch’s broom!
3. Monster Munch 🍬
Puppy chow is such a classic snack, but now we will dress it up for Halloween. Toss in candy corn, Reese’s pieces, or spooky sprinkles. The kids will think it’s the best “Monster Munch” ever.
4. Cutie Pumpkins 🎃
Peel mandarin oranges and pop a piece of celery or pretzel stick in the top for a stem. A healthy and festive snack!
5. Pretzel Eyeballs 👀
These are not super complicated but they do require a couple steps. Place square pretzels on a baking sheet, top with Hershey’s Hugs, and melt for 1–2 minutes in the oven. Press an M&M in the center and use black decorating gel for the “pupil.” Spooky little eyeballs ready to snack on!
6. Ghost Bananas 👻:
Another super simple snack idea and only needs a couple ingredients. You will need bananas, and some chocolate chips and that is it! Slice bananas in half and use melted chocolate chips to dab on the eyes and mouth. Simple, healthy, and adorable ghost bananas.
7. Pumpkin Pretzels 🎃
Dip pretzels in melted orange candy coating. Add a green M&M at the top as the pumpkin “stem.” Chill before eating. Sweet, crunchy, and perfect for Halloween parties!
8. Witch Fingers 💅
Dip Bugles into red candy coating for creepy witch nails. (Or any color of candy coating) They’re spooky and so fun for kids!
9. Mummy Pretzels 🧻
Take any pretzel shape you want and drizzle melted white chocolate over them in a zigzag pattern. You can add candy eyeballs before they set. Now you have spooky mummies to eat!
10. Halloween Chex Mix 🥣
All you need is whatever snacks you want and mix together. Then BAM you have Halloween Chex Mix. It is always a hit. You can add, pretzels, candy corn, popcorn, M&Ms, caramel corn, cheerios etc. The easiest Halloween snack for parties or after-school munching.
11. Dirt Patch Cups 🪱
This one is pretty popular year round. But you can definitely add a Halloween flare. You can add candy corn pumpkins on the top, gummy worms, and Oreo crumbs. These cups are just chocolate pudding and crushed Oreos alternating layers.
