Kids get a lot of candy during the Halloween holiday, but it isn’t very healthy to consume so many sugary, packaged treats. Instead of the usual store-bought candy, make your children a homemade treat using wholesome ingredients. Here are three creative recipes for Halloween treats that you’ll likely to love just as much as your kids.
Ghostly Pudding Milkshake [kraftrecipes.com]
Milkshakes may seem like a dessert meant more for summer than fall, but this monstrous milkshake makes the ideal Halloween treat. Vanilla pudding creates a sweet and creamy base, and you can add a scary jack-o’-lantern or monster face using some melted chocolate and a paintbrush after pouring it in the glass.
Spooky Veggies and Dip [parenting.com]
While vegetables likely aren’t your kids’ favorite snack, they might change their tune when they see these creepy vegetable sticks. Green beans turn into slithering snakes, an olive slice and a pea transform cherry tomatoes into eyeballs, and adding dip to the end of a carrot stick creates a faux severed finger.
Skeleton Quesadilla [babble.com]
Turn your kids’ lunch into a Halloween masterpiece by making a skeleton face out of nutritious quesadilla. Best of all, you can customize the faces to create a whole family of skeletons for all of your little ones.
