9 Ideas for Easy Halloween Party Food for Kids
These fun and easy Halloween appetizers, snacks, and desserts will be a hit at your party!
This popcorn balls recipe with marshmallows is so fun to make into Purple People Eaters monsters.
The "Purple People Eater" song will probably be on your playlist, so why not offer them as one of your Halloween party appetizers, too?
These mini popcorn balls are super cute (not scary for little ones at your party) and fun to make
They're bite-sized for little hands, too!
If you’re looking to add a healthier alternative, sneak in some milk with this Easy Monster Milk recipe.
You can even make it a “craft” station where the kids can create their own monster marshmallow face before plopping them into their milk.
Party Drinks Tip: If you’re worried about dairy issues with kids, use soy milk or another milk alternative.
You can also heat this up and it makes for a really creamy (and yummy) hot cocoa, too!
It is Fall, so you definitely need to do some pumpkin recipes for your Halloween party!
These easy pumpkin cookies are equally as good iced or without the icing.
Roasted pumpkin seeds are a healthy addition to your Halloween party foods and you can make them with different seasonings and flavorings.
Use a little imagination and they become "Witches Fingernails" or "Monster Toenails"!
How can you have Halloween party food without bugs?
(You can't, of course!)
Make ants crawling through the sand, caterpillars, and even spiders.
Spaghetti in a hot dog bun easily turns into “Worms in a Bun” or "Guts in a Bun" if you want to get really gross for Halloween.
Plus, this makes an easy finger food for a party! Just pick up the hot dog bun and you have everything you need inside.
(It's way yummier than it sounds. Trust me! It's like portable garlic bread with spaghetti in it!)
This refreshing Halloween drink will cool down all those little ghosts and goblins running around your party.
Make the smoothies in a pitcher ahead of time and create the jack-o-lantern faces in the glasses.
Then, it becomes an easy party self-serve station!
Pumpkin Cake Pops are another great idea for your Halloween food because they're individual and portable.
Plus, you can make each cake pop have it's own jack-o-lantern face!
This baked apple fries recipe makes a fantastic healthy snack or even apple dessert for your Halloween party.
Don't call them "healthy baked apples," though. These transform into Witches Fingers for your party (with a side of caramel sauce, of course).
