Monster Munchies: Easy Afterschool Halloween Snacks

Halloween is the perfect time to get creative in the kitchen, but spooky treats don’t have to mean loads of sugar and artificial colors. These Monster Munchies are quick, healthy, and so much fun for kids to help make. They’re also perfect for after school or as a festive party snack.

1. Apple Mouths

Turn apple slices into silly monster smiles! Spread a little peanut butter on one slice, line it with mini marshmallows for “teeth,” and top it with another slice. Instant goofy grin!

2. Pumpkin Oranges

No carving required. Just peel a mandarin orange and pop a small piece of celery into the top to make the stem. You’ll have a healthy pumpkin in seconds.

3. Banana Ghosts

Slice a banana in half and add chocolate chips for the eyes and mouth. Boo! These ghostly snacks are as adorable as they are tasty.
