WHAT OTHER SNACKS CAN I MAKE INTO HALLOWEEN SNACKS
If you are not a fan of grapes or want something different then opt for any other green fruit or even veggies.
· Honeydew Melon | Prep your melon and then chop into bite size pieces and use this to replace grapes.
· Green Peppers | Want a savory option? Wash, and slice peppers into long strips and place in cups. You could even do a smaller cup with homemade dip like ranch dressing. This would be a fun school snack as well.
· Kiwi | You wouldn’t want to make this too far ahead but kiwi would mimic Frankenstein well too! Peel, slice and serve them up. I would reach for a lot smaller cup size though if you plan to make more than a couple.
· Cucumbers | Wash and leave the peels on for a bolder green color!

INGREDIENTS
2 green apples, each quartered
sunflower butter
32 sunflower seeds
2–3 strawberries, sliced
1–2 homemade googly eyes per apple bite
INSTRUCTIONS
Cut the middles out of each quarter of the apple to create a mouth. Don’t worry about perfection, you are filling this gap with sunbutter anyway so if you cut too deep, you can always just cover it up and no one will know.
Coat the inside of the cut gap with a filling of sunflower butter.
Place 4 sunflower seeds on the top of the “mouth” for the teeth.
Place 1 sliced strawberry inside the mouth for the tongue.
“Glue” each eye above the mouth with a dab of sunbutter to stick.
Serve with a smile.
INGREDIENTS
1 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp. cornstarch
1 Tbsp. corn syrup
2 tsp. nondairy milk
1/4 tsp. almond extract (or vanilla extract)
mini nondairy chocolate chips (like Enjoy Life)
INSTRUCTIONS
Whisk together the powdered sugar and cornstarch. Add the remainder ingredients except for the chocolate chips and mix until combined. It should be a thick paste at this point.
Place into either a piping bag or Ziploc baggie and pipe dots into one row onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Gently top each dot with the mini chocolate chip–you don’t want to wait too long to place the chocolate chip in the middle or it will set.
Repeat until all the paste is gone.
Allow the googly eyes to set for at least 24 hours on your counter.
A sharp knife (a filleting knife is perfect), a few googly eyes in different sizes, some non-toxic kids PVA glue, a tiny bit of wool for hair and a couple of packets of mini Babybel cheeses all come together to make a plate of monsterlicious treats.
MATERIALS
I used 18 Ounce cups (24 ounce will work great too!) with lids
Grapes
Black Sharpie
Candy eyes or googly eyes
Glue stick or Elmers
INGREDIENTS
Tangerines or Cuties, peeled
Celery, cut into small sticks
Bananas, peeled and cut in half
Mini chocolate chips (I like Enjoy Life™
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Stick celery into tops of tangerines.
2. Stick chocolate chips into bananas.
3. Now wasn’t that easy!
INGREDIENTS
160 g Spinach
3 Frozen banana
1/2 Mango
Handful of Blueberries
INSTRUCTIONS
Draw a scary Frankenstein face onto a jar
Blend the banana, spinach and mango until smooth and combined.
Pour the mixture into a jar and top with the blueberries
INGREDIENTS
1 apple
4 mini chocolate chips or dried blueberries
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Cut apple in half vertically and carefully remove the core.
2. Starting at one edge, use a vegetable peeler to remove haphazard strips of apple peel.
3. Lay each apple half on a plate or serving tray and press two eyes into the apple in an area where the peel has been removed. If you're using mini chocolate chips, push the pointy end in first. If you're using dried blueberries, it may help to use a paring knife to make a tiny divot in the apple where you want each eye to go, and then gently press the blueberry eyes in.
Notes
Apple varieties: Some apples (such as Granny Smith) tend to turn brown more quickly than others after they've been cut. If you need your apples to look fresh for a while (on a fruit tray for a Halloween party, for example), you may want to choose apples that don't turn brown quite as quickly (such as Pink Ladies and Honeycrisps).

12 black olives
6 hard-boiled eggs, halved
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
teaspoon ground mustard
teaspoon salt
teaspoon pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Cut eggs in half lengthwise. Slip out yolks and mash.
2. Stir in mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper.
3. Place yolk mixture back in eggs.
4. Cut whole olive in half.
5. Put one half of olive for the spiders body.
6. Thinly slice the other half for the spiders legs. Put four legs on each side.
INSTRUCTIONS
Cut the cheese into thirds
Spread apart the cheese into thin strands to make it look like a broomstick end:
Poke the pretzel into the end of the cheese string. Just be careful not to push it too far or else the cheese will start to split.
Find the skinniest chives that you can possibly find, and just tie it neatly around the cheese, using your fingernails to pinch off the ends.
INGREDIENTS
8 large eggs
1/4 cup drained and chopped jarred roasted red peppers
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons prepared mustard (see Note)
1/4 teaspoon paprika, plus more for sprinkling
Salt and pepper
chives for pumpkin stems
INSTRUCTIONS
Start off with placing your eggs in a pot in a single layer and covering them with cold water about an inch above the eggs. Turn the heat up to medium high and once water starts to bubble add some salt to the pot. Bring water to a rolling boil but not too high or the eggs will crack. Once water comes to a rolling boil, place the lid on and turn off the heat. Let eggs sit for 12-13 minutes making sure to not open the lid or all of the heat will escape. Make sure not to start your timer until right when you turn off the heat.
When the time is up remove eggs from pot. Rinse and peel in cold running water.
Slice in half lengthwise, scoop out yolks and place them in a food processor with peppers, mayonnaise, mustard and paprika. Cover and refrigerate whites. Process yolk mixture until smooth; taste and season with salt and pepper.
Transfer yolk mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip or a large ziplock bag. If using a bag, squeeze out air, seal and snip off a corner. Pipe about 1 Tbsp. filling into center of each egg white, to resemble a pumpkin. You can use a toothpick to make the stripes of a pumpkin or leave them plain. Set a piece of chive into the filling to represent a stem. Sprinkle yolks with paprika. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to a day.
