With all the candy, doughnuts, and cakes coming through the house on Halloween, it’s a great idea to prepare some healthier snacks. Below are some of my favorite Halloween recipes for a party or gathering, with suggestions on how to make them festive:

Spicy Guacamole this is always a party favorite. For Halloween, use a freshly carved pumpkin with a wide open mouth. Place a long tray at the base of the pumpkin’s mouth and scoop the guacamole on giving the illusion of a vomiting pumpkin. A little sick? Sure. But, great twist for a Halloween recipe!
Creamy Hummus everyone loves a well made hummus and we can easily transform this into a Halloween recipe. Follow the instructions for this delicious creamy hummus. Then, carve faces into hallowed out red, yellow, and green peppers. Scoop hummus into the peppers and serve.
Queso Dip make this delicious cheesy dip into a Halloween recipe by simply placing in a wide serving bowl and creating a pumpkin face on the top, using blue corn chips. Two triangle chips for the eyes, one for the nose, and break up chips to create the perfect mouth.
Sweet and Spicy Roasted Pumpkin Seeds finally, don’t waste your pumpkin guts! Transform them ultimate Halloween recipe. What’s great about roasted pumpkin seeds is that in addition to having a ton of health benefits, they look festive on their own. Just prepare and place into a serving dish.
