Looking for healthy snacks for a toddlers Halloween party?

Question

I need some ideas for healthy snacks for my 1 yr old grandsons first birthday. It will be Halloween themed. So far i could only come up with apple chunks dipped in carmel. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Frozen seedless grapes

Banana chunks on a stick rolled in a little chocolate or peanut butter and crushed Cheerios

carrot sticks

Make your own gelatin squares using Gelatin and baby fruit juice rather than store bought jello.  You control the sugar and baby fruit juice is better than artificial flavorings.

Make your own chicken fingers by using either boneless chicken b*****s and baking them instead of frying.  You can also make your own honey mustard sauce.  Or a type of ranch dressing with yogurt instead of sour cream.

Frozen french fries can be cooked in a very hot oven.  Instead of a flat pan, use one of those wire racks raised over the pan.  This way the hot air can surround the fries and make them extra crispy without frying.

Any type of fruit cut up and served on a stick is fun. Or instead of sticks, use a piece of celery.  You'll have to make the hole first.

If all the kids are toddlers, they won't care if the food looks scary or not.

If you have older kids, I got some english muffins, some canned spaghetti sauce.  I put out some chopped pepperoni, cheese and small amounts of other pizza fixins and let them assemble their own mini pizzas.  I put them in the oven and took them out.  The kids loved it. All of them went home happy because they cooked something.

I also made a dessert called "dirt".  I took some new tiny plastic flower pots. I got them from the dollar store.  Washed them real well, put a dollop of vanilla pudding in the bottom, then crushed oreos, then chocolate pudding and more crushed oreos on top.  I then put a few gummy worms into each pot so the worms stuck out over the rim.  Get the worms a little crummy with the oreos so it looks like they are crawling out.  The kids and adults loved this one.  Make them small, this is rich.
