10 Easy Halloween Treats with Fresh Fruit

Need some fruit for a Halloween party? Try these perfect healthy Halloween snacks to offer a side of fresh fruit to balance out all the candy this holiday season!

1. Banana Ghosts

These ghosts are more cute than scary, making them lots of fun for younger kids. You just need to peel a banana, carve the bottom, and then add candy eyeballs and a chocolate chip mouth. Easy!

2. Green Goblin Smoothie Bowl

The green color of this smoothie bowl gives a toxic waste/monster kind of feel. The more spinach you add, the greener the smoothie will be. Add some edible eyes for a spooky treat!

4. Jack O Lantern Applesauce Cups

These are such an easy Halloween snack idea because they require so little effort! Grab some carrot peach applesauce cups at the grocery store and draw on a face with a black Sharpie.

You can also use mandarin orange cups or another prepackaged fruit cup and add your favorite Halloween designs.

6. Cantaloupe Jack-O-Lanterns

Use mini Halloween cookie cutters to make spooky shapes out of melon, like cantaloupe or honeydew melon. We like to use these stamp cookie cutters for extra detail! The great part is that it’s obvious what you’re making and the cookie cutters save you lots of work!

7. Tangerine Pumpkins

These clementine pumpkins are one of the best ideas for a school snack because they require minimal effort but look so cute! Peel your mandarin orange, then add a green grape quartered lengthwise for the stem. You can also use a thin celery stick if you prefer.

9. Apple Monsters

You can also make a little DIY jack-o-lantern in any fruit by slicing a whole for the mouth and adding sunflower seeds for the teeth and a strawberry slice for the tongue. Doesn’t this green apple look cute? (Okay, maybe these ones are a little scary!) You can even dip them in this 4-ingredient peanut butter dip for extra protein!
