Finding 5 healthy Halloween treats for your children gives you a head start on your preparations for the scary night. By using healthy ingredients it is very easy to create some super spooky treats for your Halloween gang.

  1. Bat and Ghost Chips. Using large flour tortillas and cookie cutters, cut out shapes of bats and ghosts and lightly brush both sides with oil. Arrange the shapes on a baking tray and lightly broil turning when they start to brown.  Once down take out and sprinkle salt on both sides.
  2. Pumpkin Seeds. Healthy Halloween treats don't have to be difficult. Crave a pumpkin to display and save the seeds. Arrange the seeds on a cookie tray creating one layer, and leaving small spaces between them. Sprinkle the seeds with salt, and roast in the oven until crispy.
  3. Spooky Jello Jigglers. Make orange and purple Jello as directed on the box. Pour mixture into a 13-inch by 9-inch pan and put in the refrigerator until it solidifies. Remove from the refrigerator and use cookie cutters to cut into Halloween shapes.
  4. Apple Bites. An easy yet great looking healthy Halloween treat. Quarter and core an apple cut a wedge into the skin side of the apple to represent a mouth. Then place slivered almonds for teeth. If not using right away baste with orange or lemon juice to prevent browning.
  5. Slushy Frog Eggs. Chop up kiwi fruit and mix with the juice of one lime then add enough yogurt to make a smoothy and blend well. Pour over crushed ice into a small glass and place a slice of kiwi fruit over the top.
