Halloween Snacks

I was in charge of my son's school Halloween snacks this year and wanted to do something fun, yet simple.  I turned, of course, to Pinterest for inspiration! There were so many fun ideas, that I had a hard time narrowing it down.

I really loved the simplicity of these Witch Brooms made out of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and pretzels.  No one in my son's class is allergic to peanut butter or gluten, but my son reminded me that one of the other boys in his class doesn't like peanut butter.  Plus, I knew the kids would be getting a TON of candy Trick or Treating, so I really wanted something a bit healthier.

There were a lot of wonderful ideas on this blog!  I especially liked these banana ghosts and orange pumpkins because they were healthy and looked easy to make.  But, I planned on sending the snacks to the school with my son in the morning.  I was worried that the peeled bananas would get really brown and gross before the party.

These clementine pumpkins were the perfect solution!  They were healthy, easy, and could be put in the fridge at school and not get yucky before the party.

I felt like the clementines might need a little something to go with them.  I had really loved the ghost banana idea, but needed a way to make ghosts that wouldn't turn brown in the fridge.  So, when I came across these mozzarella cheese stick ghosts, I knew we had a winner!

I grabbed a Sharpie and had these cute pumpkins and ghosts made in no time!  My son said the kids liked them, so I feel it was a win!  Hooray for cute and healthy treats!

Supplies:

• Clementines
• Cheese Sticks
• Sharpie

My total out of pocket cost:
$0.00

Clementines and cheese sticks are something we always have in our fridge as snacks.  Since my son's class just has 6 students (yes, just 6!), these snacks didn't really "cost" me anything.  I think, however, that we generally pay around $5 for a bag of clementines and $3 for the cheese sticks.  I already had a Sharpie on hand as well.  Easy peasy!
