Notes

Snack Bar with Eyes: Roll cream cheese into two small balls and place on the food. Press a mini chocolate chip into each.
Ghost English Muffin Pizza: Top a toasted English Muffin with pizza sauce or pesto, and top with a ghost cut out from a slice of cheese. Poke two eyes and serve it as is, or melt the cheese quickly in the oven or microwave.
Mummy Crackers: Top whole grain round crackers (I like the ones in the brown box from Trader Joe's but Breton crackers work too) with shredded cheese. Add slices of black olives for eyes if desired.
Energy Bite Spiders: Make a batch of energy bites. Break mini pretzels into pieces and use as legs. Add raisin eyes.
Spinach Banana Cupcakes: Add chocolate frosting to Spinach Banana Muffins. Top with sprinkles if desired. (I separated out the orange and white ones to make it with mostly Halloween colors.)
Fruit and Yogurt Candy Corn: Place Greek yogurt into a bowl. Top with diced yellow fruit (yellow kiwi or pineapple), orange fruit (clementines or cantaloupe) and white (banana, melon, or coconut).
Green lunch: Serve up an assortment of green foods for a festive Halloween treat lunch. We like to include Banana Spinach Muffins, Snap Pea Crisps, kiwi, edamame, and cucumbers.
Strawberry Ghosts: Trim the stems off of strawberries. Dip in Greek yogurt and place onto a pie plate. Add mini chocolate chip eyes. Freeze briefly and serve.
