Edible Eyeballs and other hauntingly healthy Halloween treats

Looking for some fun Halloween treats that don’t have a scary amount of sugar or calories? Check out these spooky snacks from Disney FamilyFun. They’re frighteningly healthy – perfect for parties or as an after-school treat.



Edible Eyeballs

Set out a platter of these creepy peepers, and your party guests are bound to do a double take. Simply slice carrots into 1-inch-thick chunks, top each with a blob of cream cheese and one half of a pitted black olive, and they’re ready to serve.

Melon Brain
Created from nothing more than a small, round seedless watermelon, this spooky cerebral creation is bound to turn heads. First, use a vegetable peeler to remove the entire green rind, exposing the inner white rind. Then slice off the bottom of the melon to make a flat base that will keep it from rolling.  With a toothpick, outline squiggly furrows that resemble the folded surface of a brain. Finally, carve narrow channels along the tracings with a sharp paring knife (a parent’s job) to expose the pink fruit beneath the
rind.

Black Bean Cat Crudite´s
No bones about it, this kitty skeleton makes a healthy centerpiece for Halloween parties or school gatherings. Just arrange assorted fresh vegetables and a bowl of your favorite black bean dip in the shape of a spooky cat.

I’m so impressed with how creative these are! And there are a lot more Healthy Halloween Recipes like Halloween Bug Juice, Pizza Mummies, and Goblin Tongues! See them here at Disney FamilyFun.
