11 Healthy Halloween Treats for You and Your Little Monsters

Deep red hibiscus tea, fresh blood orange juice, and sparkling wine or cider give this Hibiscus and Blood Orange Punch plenty of drama. This bubbling witch’s brew is refined sugar-free, and much lower in added sugar than a soda or fruit juice-based drink.

Okay, so this creamy, cheesy Chicken and Garlic “Vampire” Dip may not really scare away any ghouls, but it sure is delicious. Serve with vegetables and whole-grain crackers as a wholesome, satisfying bite when you need a break from sweets.

Olive “eyes” and basil leaf “hair” make these Mini Chicken and Basil Meatball Hoagies a fun addition to your Halloween spread. You can use halved mini pita pockets or slider buns instead of the rolls.

You won’t believe how easy these homemade Chocolate-Almond Butter Cups are to make, a great alternative to the traditional candy for those with peanut allergies. Remember to leave time for each chocolate layer to set completely in the freezer.

Whole-grain popcorn, coconut flakes, and spicy wasabi peas make this Sweet and Spicy Snack Mix special—a fun mix of textures and flavors rather than a salt bomb. Be sure to stir the baked mix occasionally as it cools to avoid clumps.

Tart green apple and warm whole spices add a taste of fall in these Granny Smith Moscow Mules. Ginger beer is nonalcoholic (we love one with a great kick). You can omit the gin for a virgin drink or sub vodka or bourbon depending on what you like.

We love the bumpy, scaly look of these Matcha-Chocolate Crackle Cookies. The matcha (green tea powder) adds a faint grassy note, but won’t keep kids from enjoying them. Use dark cocoa for intense chocolate flavor.

Yes, these Devil Eggs are a not-so-clever play on words, but we couldn’t resist. The filling is based on classic Southern Pimiento cheese, with sharp cheddar, hot sauce, and diced pimientos. Use two olive slices for a pair of eyes or just one for a Cyclops egg.

All things orange are welcome on Halloween, why this Roasted Carrot and Chickpea Hummus is perfect for the holiday. You could also make a black bean hummus for a black and orange duo.

Whole candy-coated apples are a bit unwieldy for little trick-or-treaters (and let’s face it, not really worth finishing after the coating is gone). These Chocolate-Peanut Butter Apple Wedges have the perfect ratio of topping to fruit, and are super fun to eat.

These homemade “skull and bones” Cookies & Cream Marshmallows taste exactly like the classic ice cream flavor. The crunchy bits of cookie stay suspended in the pillowy marshmallow mixture for a fantastic bite.
