To create the body of the spider, cookies with a filling similar to Oreo cookies will work well. You can use Skittles or M&M's candies for the eyes and create the legs using melted chocolate.

Make jelly according to the instructions. Pour the jelly into cups and place them in the refrigerator for half an hour. Add gummy worms hanging on the sides (do this when the jelly cools down to prevent the worms from dissolving). Put it back in the refrigerator until fully set. Top with whipped cream and sprinkles before serving on the table.

Scoop out all the pulp from the citrus fruits, but don't throw it away! You can always mix the pulp with juice or smoothies. Then carve spooky faces and fill the oranges with berries, apples, kiwi, and whatever you have on hand.

11. Frozen GHOSTS

These bananas are as pale as a ghost, thanks to a thick layer of white chocolate.

Cut the banana in half, and then lengthwise to make four quarters. Insert an ice cream stick into the wide end of the banana, place it on parchment paper, and freeze for 24 hours. Add 100g of white chocolate to a bowl and melt it on the stove until smooth. Dip the frozen bananas in the melted chocolate and place them back on the parchment paper. Add dark chocolate shavings as eyes while the white chocolate is still warm. Put them back in the freezer for 2 hours.

12. Apple Monsters

Another idea for a healthy Halloween treat for kids:

Take apples and use a knife to carve out eyes, a nose, and a spooky smile. Create apple monsters with these carved features. Place these apple monsters in a container filled with clear beverages.

13. Mummy Hot Dogs

Mummy Hot Dogs for Halloween

 

For this spooky dish, you need to brown the hot dogs, cut thin strips of puff pastry, and wrap the hot dogs in it like mummies. Just remember to leave a small "window" for the eyes when wrapping the hot dogs. Once the hot dogs are wrapped, brush them with egg yolk, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius. You can make the eyes out of cream cheese for the whites and black pepper for the pupils. The main thing is that the kids don't forget to poke out the eyes before eating the mummy hot dogs, or it will be very bitter!)

 

As you may have noticed, all of these snacks and drinks can be prepared quickly and with minimal ingredients. Get kids involved in this "spooky" activity, and you'll be amazed at how many creative ideas come from their little minds. They absolutely love the theme of spookiness!

Enjoy the process of creating these fun and healthy Halloween treats with the kids!
