About this
A roundup of quick, easy, frustration-free healthy Halloween treats from Peas and Crayons. It covers spooky cheese and crackers, apple slices, jack-o-lantern fruit cups, monster mash soup, a spider web hummus dip, and Frankenstein sandwich wraps. Most ideas rely on inexpensive mini Halloween cookie cutters so even kids can help make them.
The plan

- Choose cheese method: slice a mild cheddar block lengthwise with an extra-sharp knife, or buy pre-cut cracker-sized cheddar slices
- Enlist little hands to help press cookie cutters and assemble the snacks
- Plan snacks to double as lunchbox items, party platters, or play-date activities
- Save leftover cheese cut-outs for pizza night or taco night toppings
- Stock mini cutters for other uses: salt-dough ornaments, play dough shapes, and other holiday snacks
