This Halloween, give your nieces and nephews a spooky snack that is fun to make, eat, and most importantly, a healthier choice that all that candy!

Spiders in a Blanket



Pigs in a blanket are already a party favorite! And these cuties have a Halloween twist!

This eight-legged snack from AppleGate, a natural and organic meats company, requires few ingredients and has only a few steps, so kids can get right to decorating - and eating them - pretty quickly! Click here or on the image to get the full recipe.


Silly Apples Bites





We found these little ghoulish guys on ForkAndBeans.com and they will have your niece or nephew so distracted by their appearance, they wont even realize they’re eating something so healthy!

Did you go apple picking with (or without) your nieces and nephews? Great! This recipe calls for green apples (although red apples will probably work just as well!), sunflower seeds, sunflower butter, strawberries, white icing and chocolate chips.

The directions inside the link are easy enough for a big kid to do, and younger kids will have fun placing on the strawberry tongues.


Halloween Deviled Eggs







The possibilities are endless with #31 of 64 non-candy Halloween treats we found at Listotic.com. Simply gather and boil any number of eggs and let you and your nieces' and nephews' creativity flow!

Sprinkle some cayenne pepper and top the egg with a piece of chopped scallion to make a pumpkin, slice a few black olives to turn the eggs into creepy crawlers, or top them off with some guacamole and half of a green olive to create a spooky yet delicious eyeball. And finally - let them make their own creations. Who knew eggs be so artistic?
