If you’re looking for some delicious and spooky Halloween snacks for kids, here’s a list of recipes that you can whip up in practically no time at all. From healthy Halloween snacks to good ol’ sweets, this list of Halloween food for kids has you completely covered this year!
Halloween is BIG in our house. Really big. From the costumes to the decorations to the games to the food…we tend to go all out and have a blast doing it every year!
Do you have your decorations up or your Halloween costume planned out yet? Would you be surprised if I said we already did?
Halloween is one of my most favorite times of the year! Not only does it mean that I get to have some of my kid’s candy (no judgment – we call it the “Parent Tax”), but it also means that I have an excuse to make up some fun and funky food in the kitchen as well.
While it might be normal in some households to make up eyeball foods and spider treats throughout the year (more fun for them!), our household usually only participates in this during the month of October. What we lose out on during the rest of the year, we more than make up for in those few weeks!
If you’re as excited as I am about getting ready for Halloween, here are some awesome Halloween snacks that your kids are going to absolutely love.
Spooky Good Sweet Halloween Snacks for Kids
Halloween is so much fun, why relegate all the fun to costumes? It’s time to have some spooky (and cute) fun with some food snacks!

Doesn’t this harvest caramel corn look divine? What’s better than creamy caramel, salty popcorn, and sweet chocolate mixed together? Not much that I can think of but, it just might be my obsession with Rolos that seals the deal for me.
And to be honest, I’d probably be picking out all the Rolos and M&M’s and eating those first.

Candy apples are yummy but kind of a pain – and so messy! Instead of candy apples, try caramel apple slices on a stick.
You get more sweetness per square inch of apple, plus they are so much easier to make and eat, and really, who doesn’t love that?

You just might never look at tacos ever again once you make up a batch of these eyeball tacos (I know I won’t!). It’s a very creative idea with almost effortless follow-through since the work is already done by making tacos!
