August 28, 2020 by Jackie

Sometimes (okay, MOST of the time) this season can bring with it a sense of candy overload. That’s why we’re providing you with some ideas of Halloween treats and refreshments that aren’t candy!  (Your teeth will love you!)

Have some fun at Halloween without all the sugar! These Halloween alternative treat ideas will have you rolling in your grave! #sunlitspacesblog #halloween #trickortreat

Finger Food

Make carrots look like fingers by using some creamy dip to attach sliced almonds (fingernails) to the ends, then stick 5 “fingers” into the dip (have other carrots to the side for dipping).

Pumpkin Cheese Balls

Not only are these awesome and adorable ideas, but they’re great for serving individuals. Your guests and family can just grab one for themselves and not worry about having to share or not leaving enough delicious cheese for the rest. Just take a glob of cheese, cover it in paprika, and stick it on a cracker!

Poisoned Apple Treats

Don’t these just look dastardly, indeed!? The best part is that you can make the cover out of whatever you want. Chocolate works best, but if you want to be healthier just find a chocolate-like substitute online and you’re good to go!

Cereal Bar Bales

These treats work just as well as decorations as they do actual snacks! The cereal can differ depending on what you want the bale to look like, but shredded wheat thins all blended up seem to work pretty well.

Witch Brooms

 Adorable, delicious, AND healthy! Take pieces of cheese (either from a block or a cheese stick) and cut into them to make the end. Then just attach the cheese to a pretzel stick and you’re good! If needed, tie the cheese down, but let your guests know if that part isn’t edible!

Frankenstein Snacks

These are incredibly artsy and require patience and a little bit of skill in order to assemble them. The green face is just dyed cheese, but you could probably make it out of some sort of green vegetable, as well. Do what you and your family will like best!

Pumpkin style deviled eggs

These look so cute and yummy! The yolk part looks like a pumpkin! And the recipe isn’t too hard either. With a little tweaking, I bet you could even get it to look like brains instead of a pumpkin!

Spooky Spider Cheese Ball

This is a Halloween masterpiece that everyone is sure to love! Use the cheese balls as different parts of the spider’s body and some well-placed herbs and seasons to make the coloring. Put it on a spiderweb plate and you’re good to go!

Halloween9

Batty Cheese Balls

These are probably more for adults (multi-grain chips and seeds aren’t always a child’s favorite), but they still look great on a party platter. The cheese ball just needs a pair of chip ears and some well-placed eyes and you’ve got some great batty cheese balls!
