Making fun Halloween Party Food doesn't have to break the bank. Use things like apples, nuts, peanut butter and bananas to make these easy Halloween Fruit Treats.
Halloween is all about candy treats! Make some of you own, these Halloween themed Chocolate & Peanut Butter Squares taste just like that popular peanut butter cup. Or make the natural like this, either way they are delicious! If nuts are an issue, use mini marshmallows for the teeth and something like sunflower seed butter. My kids are allergic, so I get it!
Turn store-bought or homemade brownies into a spooky dessert with the help of candy eyeballs (which you can find on Amazon or at a craft store)
Turn orange juice or an orange drink into a Halloween theme by simply rimming the glasses in black sanding sugar. Make it a mocktail using peach juice or an orange drink combined with club soda. Use black salt to rim glasses or Margaritas or Bloody Mary's.
Make a no-bake Halloween treat using Oreo's or similar sandwich cookie. Insert lollipop sticks into center, dip in melted chocolate and once dry use melted chocolate to create spooky faces. As pictures fill mason jars or small vases with candy corn to hold the treats. Make these "alien" using green melting wafers for dipping.

All you do is attach the below note (or similar) to a little bag or bucket of treats and secretly drop at your kids friends, relatives, neighbors doors. Ring the doorbell and run and hide to watch the delight on others faces. Such a fun family activity!
