Healthy Halloween Snack Ideas

Here are some tasty and healthy snack ideas that you can easily incorporate into your office Halloween celebrations using EON’s curated selection of products.

1. Monster Mash Protein Bars

Using KIND Dark Chocolate Nut Protein Bars, you can create a spooky and satisfying treat. These bars are made with premium whole ingredients and offer a deliciously creamy and crunchy texture that make them stand out in a sea of common protein bars. They’re a great source of fiber; they are gluten-free; and they are low in sodium – perfect for a mid-afternoon energy boost.

How to serve

• Arrange the KIND Protein Bars on a platter with small paper ghosts or bats for decoration.
• You can even cut the bars into bite-sized pieces and place them in individual cups labeled “Monster Bites” to add a fun Halloween twist.

2. Haunted Nut Mix

Create a heart-healthy snack mix using Hormel Foods NUT-rition Heart Healthy Mix. This mix includes a blend of almonds, peanuts, hazelnuts, pecans, pistachios, and walnuts, providing a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

How to serve

• Portion the nut mix into small, festive bags or cups, and label them as “Witch’s Brew” or “Goblin Gorp.”
• Add a few dark chocolate chips or dried cranberries for a touch of sweetness that won’t overload on sugar.

3. Fruitful Fright Cups

Dole Mixed Fruit Cups are a convenient and refreshing snack that’s perfect for balancing out the sweeter treats. These cups contain mixed fruit in 100% fruit juice, making them a healthier alternative to candy while still satisfying a sweet tooth.

How to serve

• Decorate the tops of the fruit cups with Halloween-themed stickers, or wrap them in black and orange ribbon.
• Place them in a spooky “cauldron” filled with ice to keep them cool, and add a fun element to the snack table.

4. Ghostly Fruit Snacks

For a fruity snack that’s both fun and healthy, turn to Welch’s Mixed Fruit Snacks. These snacks, made with real fruit, are fat-free and gluten-free. And they are an excellent source of Vitamins A, C, and E. They’ll be a great alternative to traditional Halloween candies.

How to serve

• Arrange the individually wrapped fruit snacks in a Halloween-themed bowl, perhaps shaped like a pumpkin or a cauldron.
• Create a “Trick or Treat” station, where employees can pick a fruit snack and a piece of candy, allowing them to choose a healthier option without missing out on the fun.

5. Popcorn Pumpkins

SkinnyPop Popcorn is a light and tasty snack that’s perfect for guilt-free munching. With just three ingredients, this popcorn is non-GMO, gluten-free, and free of preservatives, making it a healthy choice that still feels indulgent.

How to serve

• Fill small orange paper bags with SkinnyPop and draw jack-o’-lantern faces on the front. This not only makes the snack festive but also provides an easy-to-grab option for employees on the go.
• You can also mix the popcorn with some roasted pumpkin seeds for an extra crunch and a seasonal touch.

6. Salty Skeleton Crackers

Keebler Zesta Saltine Crackers are a versatile snack that can be served in a variety of ways. Their crispy, crunchy texture pairs perfectly with a variety of toppings, making them a great base for healthy Halloween treats.

How to serve

• Create “Skeleton Crackers” by topping the saltines with a spread of low-fat cream cheese or hummus and using sliced olives or cucumber for eyes. Arrange them in the shape of a skeleton on a platter for a fun and spooky snack.
• Alternatively, serve the crackers with a selection of healthy dips such as guacamole, salsa, or a yogurt-based ranch.

7. Pistachio Potion Packs

Wonderful Roasted & Salted Pistachios are a nutritious and satisfying snack, conveniently portioned into 100-calorie packs. These pistachios are cholesterol-free and packed with nutrients, making them an ideal choice for a quick, healthy treat.

How to serve

• Encourage employees to grab a pack whenever they need a healthy pick-me-up throughout the day.

Jelly Belly Gourmet Jelly Beans may not be as healthy as the other options, but they’re a low-fat treat that can add a pop of color and fun to your snack table. These jelly beans come in assorted flavors and are conveniently packaged in single-serve packets.

How to serve

• Use the Jelly Belly beans to create a “Jackpot” game where employees can win a packet of jelly beans by participating in a fun Halloween trivia or guessing game.
