25 Healthy Halloween Treats
Scary Halloween Monsters Bites
You’re unlikely to be spooked with these adorable chocolate and peanut butter balls in town.
They get a bunch of divine sweetness from cocoa powder and dates. But watch out for the subtle crunch from the crushed peanuts!
And the candy eyeballs? They’re quite literally the cherries on top.
Meringue Ghosts
If you’re hosting a Halloween party this year and need to whip up something sweet in a flash, these ghosts have got you.
They replace eggs with chickpea brine (so are 100% vegan!), but they’re just as fluffy as traditional meringues!
Simply whip your meringue mixture, spoon your ghosts onto a baking tray, and dot the eyes.
Strawberry Halloween Monsters
These sweet strawberry monsters will keep your Halloween healthy by removing excess added sugar!
Most of the sweetness comes from the strawberries themselves, while the bits of fondant add charm to your plate.
Seriously, just look at those eyes and mouths!
Healthy Halloween Cookies
I’m always on the lookout for fun chickpea recipes, and these high-protein cookies are the bomb.
The ripe bananas, maple syrup, and applesauce cover the slight bitter nuttiness from the chickpeas.
Plus, they’re fully suitable for gluten-free folks and are easy to whip up in the food processor!
Apple Monsters
Crispy, crunchy, and pleasantly sweet apple monsters that are ready in minutes?
Sounds like a dream!
These simple treats are made with green apples, peanut butter, pumpkin seeds (for the teeth!), and some sliced cheese.
All you need to complete the picture is a packet of candy eyes (AKA: the only sugar in this dessert!).
Halloween Fruit Tray
If you're on the hunt for healthy snacks to serve the whole family, you can't beat a fruit tray.
But this isn’t any old fruit tray – it’s jazzed up with melted chocolate, banana ghosts, and candy eyes!
Throw a couple of plastic spiders on the plate to truly ring in the Halloween season.
Chocolate Mummy Cookies
Get in the festive mood with these surprisingly effective mummy cookies!
They’re completely free from refined sugar, butter, and oil, but they get major flavor from three kinds of chocolate.
And did I mention everything’s made in a single bowl and it’s easy to involve the kiddos?
A complete dream for Halloween parties!
Halloween Donuts
You might not think that healthy donuts were possible.
But these chocolate-smothered balls of goodness will prove you wrong.
Baking the donuts instead of frying them removes tons of fat, and using oat and almond flour adds a bunch of fiber.
Throw in the fun sprinkles, candy eyes, and crunchy pretzels, and you’ll have a seriously fun Halloween snack to hand!
Halloween Mummy Pizzas
Whether you need fun treats for school parties or a quick dinner, these mummy pizzas are ideal.
They’re made with a gluten-free base and can be topped (creatively!) with cheese, olives, and tomato sauce.
And you might not guess it at first glance, but the base is a nutrient-rich mix of ground chicken and spinach!
Frankenstein Matcha Rice Crispy Treats
I’m a huge fan of the green tinge the matcha gives these old-school Rice Krispy treats.
They get an interesting taste from the green tea powder, but the marshmallows and melted chocolate keep things sweet!
You’ll need to leave your treats to cool, but the cooking process couldn’t be easier.
No-Bake Chocolate Pumpkin Bars
When I’m struggling for time, these no-bake peanut butter and puffed rice bars are a total savior.
The chewy base is ready in mere minutes, and the colorful sprinkles and rich chocolate topping taste super decadent.
As they’re portable, they’re also one of the best healthy options for school classroom parties!
Pumpkin Spice Yogurt Granola Cups
Nothing screams fall like pumpkin spice, and these super-fun granola cups are perfect with orange juice for breakfast!
You’ll need to use a little creativity to make the oat base shine, but chopped fruits and chocolate chips are a good start.
You can even turn this into a fun activity for a healthy Halloween party!
Veggie Skeleton
If your kids struggle to eat their veggies, this is one of the healthy Halloween recipes that’ll save the day.
You can throw a celery stick or two in to represent limbs.
But it’s the carrots, red peppers, mushrooms, and broccoli that do the heavy lifting here!
Serve this skeleton platter with your favorite hummus (or cream cheese!) for some wholesome Halloween fun!
Halloween Popcorn Balls
Forget complex healthy treats that require hours of prep time.
This simple recipe contains just 3 ingredients!
The base recipe is delicious and contains no nasty corn syrup and swaps it for chocolate chips and edible decorations.
But you can easily get creative with mix-ins like nuts, dried fruits, or candy corn!
Halloween Taco Dip
This Halloween taco dip is a super fun way to spice up your party table without much effort.
You’ll use black olives to create some makeshift spiders and sour cream to fashion a classic web!
The rest of the décor? It’s just a smattering of veggies, refried beans, jalapenos, guac, and herbs!
Halloween Charcuterie Board
When you just can’t decide what to serve to your party guests, try a charcuterie board packed with healthier treats!
This is one of the easy ideas that take minimal brainpower to achieve.
Just gather some nuts, popcorn, and sweet treats!
I like interspersing the sweet with savory items like olives and meat slices, but the sky’s the limit!
Halloween Bark
The fall season is a good time to whip out some melted dark chocolate and create some glorious sweet bark!
It’s one of the fun Halloween treats that takes just 15 minutes of prep work.
Plus, it’s easy enough to get the kids involved and stores well for several days (to manage the sugar rush!).
Halloween Peppers
Need a break from all those sweet treats?
These savory stuffed peppers look like adorable jack-o-lanterns and can be customized with virtually any ingredients you fancy.
The ground meat and aromatic rice make this an amazing appetizer, and the olive oil adds plenty of antioxidants!
Halloween Trail Mix
Jazz up your typical trail mix with a handful of candy corn and a few pretzel pieces!
This mix is the perfect mix of sweet and salty flavors, and it’s nut-free and allergy friendly for school shindigs.
Oh, and did I mention it’s packed with fiber and healthy fats to keep you ticking over for hours?
Banana Mummy Pops
If you’re looking for edible crafts to whip out this year, these adorable (and spooky!) treats are perfect!
All you need are some candy eyes, a white chocolate drizzle, and some ripe bananas to place on a popsicle stick.
And finito.
Maple Candied Apples
I’m a huge fan of caramel apples, and these rich, toffee-flavored treats contain no artificial nasties!
The blend of maple sugar and dark maple syrup creates a ridiculously aromatic toffee.
And don’t worry – the tart apples prevent this recipe from becoming a total sugar overload.
Witch Finger Cookies
These might look a bit grotesque, but these weird and wonderful cookies are jam and almond-filled delights!
The buttery shortbread base melts in your mouth, while the chunky almonds represent the witch’s fingernails.
Super simple and impressive without being difficult to make!
Halloween Dirt Cups
These dirt cups are up there with my favorite healthy Halloween food ideas as they’re just SO easy.
This super simple dessert is made with an avocado base and sweetened up with maple syrup!
Top with Oreos and gummy worms for a gooey delight that’ll have you reaching for seconds.
Halloween Toast
Start your Halloween morning with a spring in your step by whipping up some vegan spooky toast!
Cutters are a great choice if you want to make ghosts or witch’s hats.
But you can also let your toppings do the talking by using cheese, olives, or even melted chocolate to create patterns.
Pizza Soup
For the days when you’re craving pizza but don’t want to make a base – I’ve got you.
This 100% vegan pizza soup combines garlic, tomatoes, and basil with ground tofu and cheese.
And the topping? It’s made with an easily-carved puff pastry for the ultimate jack-o-lantern!
