Yummy Healthy Easy
Pumpkin Krispie Treats
Not only are Rice Krispies treats super fun for you and your kids to make from scratch, but these adorable candy corn-garnished jack-o-lanterns are surprisingly easy to make.
Everyone loves chocolate covered strawberries-so everyone will doubly love this spooky take on the classic favorite. In typical ghostly fashion, they'll vanish right before your eyes.

Sliced, pumpkin spiced and ready to serve, your kids and their friends will love these sweet and seasonal treats. And they'll never guess they're eating something good for them on Halloween.
What better way to serve candy than inside morecandy? All these orange-hued chocolate bowls require is a handful of balloons and some milk chocolate to decorate with. Your kids will have so much fun making them, they'll forget about the best part-which is eating them, obviously.
No muss, no fuss and virtually mess-free, these healthy alternatives to the standard chocolate-fueled Halloween fare will give kids the ghostly ghoulish fix they need, and you can feel good about something they'll be eating during the holiday.

The only thing scary about these Oreo-filled Halloween treats is how frightfully easy they are to make. You may actually want to impose a hard and fast "pudding cup limit" for the season.
