Even if you can’t find a lot that’s “themed” you can literally put anything together and then throw a couple fake spiders or eyeballs on there and it’s instant Halloween fun!
I wanted a tray that wasn’t ALL junk food so I start with a mix of fresh fruit, and you could do veggies too, and things like string cheese.
What Fruits and veggies should I Put on a Halloween Snack Tray?
Here are just a few ideas! Carrots Celery Snap Peas or freeze dried pea crisps Grapes (purple and green) Green apples Mini Oranges String Cheese with black eyes drawn on plastic Bananas still in the peel, cut in half and draw ghost faces
What Savory Snacks are best for a Halloween Snack Tray?
Spoiler alert: anything orange, and it won’t be hard to find! Cheeze-its Cheetos (at some stores you can find skeleton and bones Cheetos) Cheddar Sun Chips Veggie Puffs
What Treats should I include in a Halloween Snack Tray
This time of year you can find lots of festive treats like pumpkin shaped cookies and drizzled pretzels. If all else fails there are a lot of chocolate or orange colored things you could include! Chocolate covered pretzels Pocky Sticks Gingersnaps Halloween Oreos Orange wafer cookies Mini Doughnuts What are the best Candies for a Halloween Snack Tray? Just take a walk down the Halloween aisle, but remember there are lots of candies in the right colors (though not specifically for Halloween) in the normal candy aisle. Seasonal Halloween candies in spooky shapes Black Licorice Seasonal M&M’s Gummi Worms tootsi pops Candy Corn Mini Pumpkin Candies
How do I assemble a Halloween Snack Tray?
I always start with the largest, most solid items, which in this case is the fruit. Keep them in groupings of like items, not scattered all over. We’re going for organized chaos here.
After the fruit and veggies, fill in with large handfuls of the crackers and snacks.
And small candies are the last thing to go on.
If you have a plastic veggie tray, that’s a great way to serve a collection of themed holiday goodies as well!
Throw one of these together for your next party or just to have after school or as you trick-or-treaters are getting ready to hit the town.
