36 Easy Fall Snacks and Halloween Treats

Whether you’re looking for something sweet, easy, healthy, or just plain fun, this list has something for you! FYI: most of the less or no sugar snacks are in the second half of the list, but some are sprinkled throughout the rest of the list too – I couldn’t look at all those sweets without some salty mixed in, ha!

1. Candy Corn Rice Krispie Treats

Rice Krispie treats are an easy to make treat that is downright delicious! You could follow the recipe as is, or you could skip the actual pieces of candy corn and just have candy corn-colored rice krispie treats if you want the cuteness without the flavor!

2. Scary-Cute Monster Mash Halloween Brownies

What makes these festive brownies so easy is that they start with a box mix! Kids can definitely help make them because they are totally whimsical and the more “mashed” they look, the better.

3. DIY Ghost Face Popcorn Snack Cups

It doesn’t get much easier than this! Clear plastic cups + popcorn! Check out the post for more details. This is a great way to have a fun treat without any sugar!

4. Black Cat Krispie Treats

There’s nothing quite like a little chocolate on a rice krispy treat! I made these a few weeks ago and my husband told me I should always make our this way from now on. Big win! Plus, they are just crazy adorable. 🐈

5. Chocolate Bat Bites

Only 4 ingredients for this fun and easy snack! I’d probably make these for a party instead of a lunchbox, since the wings would probably get clipped during the journey from home to school!

6. Lolly Pop Ghosts

Is it even Halloween without a Tootsie Roll Pop?! It’s the only time I ever eat them, and I think I would enjoy them even more if they started out as a tissue ghost! An excellent pre-packaged treat to bring to a class party.

7. Turkey Snack Bags

These fun little snacks are easy as can be with only 2 ingredients and a clear, food-grade glove! Definitely could see this being a big hit to surprise the kids with as an afternoon snack. 😉

8. Chocolate Covered Pretzel Turkeys

Dip in melted chocolate, roll in fall colored sprinkles and you’re done! So easy! This would be a cute gift to bring if someone else is hosting Thanksgiving or a fun treat to tell a teacher “thanks for all you do” before Thanksgiving break!

9. Peanut Butter Cup Turkeys

Anyone else a BIG fan of peanut butter and chocolate? 🙋‍♀️ These are simple enough for little ones to help assemble and this is a no-cook recipe. It’s more like a craft.. that you get to eat!

(My family’s favorite peanut butter cups are Justin’s)!

10. Owl Cupcakes

These could easily be made with store bought chocolate cupcakes! Or you could make them from scratch. Either way, add a few Oreos and some orange chocolate candies or Reese’s Pieces, and that regular cupcake turns into something that is just too cute!

11. Witches’ Hats and Brooms

Another quick-to-make snack idea that would also be fun for parties! This one uses all pre-made items and takes just moments to whip up. These would be cute at a Harry Potter themed party too!

12. Butterscotch Haystacks with Pumpkins

Adding a candy corn pumpkin to this classic treat lends the perfect touch of fall! What a creative use for those crunchy chow mien noodles!

13. Candy Corn Rice Krispie Treats

Yes, there is more than one way to enjoy chocolate on a Rice Krispie treat! These are adorable, and even people who don’t like candy corn might find themselves enjoying these.. because they don’t taste like candy corn!

14. Candy Corn Jello

Does this taste like candy corn? No! It’s actually a fruity flavor since this Halloween snack idea is just orange and lemon jello plus some whipped cream to top things off.

15. Pumpkin Pie Crescents

Being a huge fan of Harry Potter, these always make me think of Pumpkin Pasties from the books. But even if you’re not into all things Harry Potter, these would be a really fun (and delicious) snack for anytime of day!

16. Pretzel Pumpkins

I just love these! White chocolate, a little orange food coloring (here’s some all natural food coloring), and you’re done! You could make a ton of these and just give a few each day with lunch!

17. Easy Cinnamon Roll Pumpkins

How much easier could it get?! Pop open a can, add this all-natural food coloring powder and you have a fun start to any fall morning! Feeling ambitious? Make your cinnamon rolls from scratch.

18. Halloween Marshmallow Pops

A bag of marshmallows, some melted chocolate, and a few fall sprinkles… add one of these wicked cool black Halloween lollipop sticks and you’ve got a festive platter of magical treats!

19. Halloween Themed Pretzels

Owls, mummies, ghosts, OH MY! Who knew a simple pretzel could be turned into so many different things?!

20. S’more Pretzel Bites

Here’s another amazing pretzel transformation. Fireside fun on the go! Make these in advance and toss them in a lunchbox for a sweet surprise.

21. Peanut Butter Monster Munch Party Mix

I ❤️ puppy chow, and this variation looks amazing too! I’d probably throw in some chocolate too 😉

22. Hot Dog Spiders

These are made with Applegate hotdogs (all natural, you can even get grassfed organic hot dogs from Applegate!), so I’m automatically disposed to like them! I bet there are a lot of kids who would just love to have these for lunch!

23. Apple Pie Crescent Rolls

These are just like the pumpkin crescents, but filled with apple pie instead! Yum! These would make a special, cozy breakfast.

24. White Chocolate Mummy Pretzels

Another fabulous dip and done snack idea! A little white chocolate and some edible candy eyes and you’re done! Kids can definitely help make these!

25. Pumpkin Pie Twists

A fun “twist” on crescent roll treats! Same ingredients as the pumpkin pie crescents from earlier, but a fun new shape! And of course, topped with icing 🙂 Channeling churro vibes…

26. Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups

You probably had dirt and worms cups as a kid- I think we all did. This fun fall version sure stirs up the memories!

27. Acorn Kiss Cookies

What?! I never would have thought to turn a Hershey’s kiss into an acorn treat! So fun!

28. Mummy Milanos

I grew up eating Milanos as the most treasured treat-of-all-treats. Will I make these for myself or maybe for my dear dad who brought such treats home for me?

29. Harvest Caramel Corn

Popcorn anything is almost for sure a hit in my home, but fall themed caramel corn?! I’m a sucker for anything themed that’s easy to make, and this is going to find it’s way into the annual Halloween neighbor bash (because I’m bringing it)!

Lower Sugar Options

The Halloween season is basically a full time sugar high, right? So if you’re looking to combat that a little bit while still giving some fun fall themed snacks, then this section is for you!

True story: after my kids read Jocko Willink’s Way of the Warrior Kid, they started requesting healthier snacks!

30. 5 Halloween Treats Fruit Cups

These 5 healthy Halloween treats are super simple and ridiculously adorable! They are sweet because they’re made of fruit, but there is NO added sugar so you can feel great about feeding kids these any time of day.

You could also serve them in half pin jars to reduce the fruit amount.

31. Mandarin Orange Jack-O-Lanterns

A simple sharpie snack hack for the win!

32. Banana Ghost Pops

Bananas, yogurt, and coconut! The two chocolate chips for eyes could even be replaced by nuts if you want this snack to be refined-sugar free.

33. String Cheese Witches Brooms –

You could make several of these Witches Brooms out of a single stick of string cheese! FYI the article is in Spanish, but the pictures are all you’ll need.

34. Halloween Veggie Tray

Finally, some veggies! This kid-friendly veggie tray would be welcomed by my kiddos any day. It would be worth the extra 5-10 mins this takes to assemble to see their happy faces when I serve this with lunch!

35. Cheesy Monsters

Babybell cheeses and some self-adhesive googly eyes… It doesn’t get much easier than this, and wow! My kids were so impressed when I served these for lunch along with some turkey slices.

36. Cheesy Ghosts

Just a sharpie and 30 seconds gets you a fun fall lunchbox addition, or a classroom snack! If you can trust your kids with a sharpie, let them make their own string cheese faces!
