Last year my toddlers were afraid of almost everything about the Halloween holiday. This year, it is running a close second with Christmas. It is amazing how much can change in a year.
Nearly every day they are asking for a “spooky snack”. Luckily I picked up some Halloween cookie cutters last year because I now use them at least once a day. Today we are making “Spooky Halloween Snack-wiches” because spooky is the buzzword this year for my kids :0
How to make a “Spooky Halloween Snack” for kids!
Here’s what you need:
- Tortillas
- Nutella (or any nut butter)
- Sliced strawberries
- Cinnamon (optional)
- Candy decorations (optional)
- Warm tortillas in the microwave for 15 seconds. (The warm tortilla melts the Nutella on contact making it easier to spread).
- Spread Nutella (or other nut butter) over one tortilla
- Add sliced strawberries
- Cover with a second tortilla
- Sprinkle with cinnamon (optional)
- Use the cookie cutter to cut out Halloween shape
- Remove and place on a separate plate
- Decorate with candy eyes, M&Ms, sprinkles, or any fun Halloween shapes!
This is a great recipe to make as a Mommy and Me activity! If you are doing the 7 Day Family Time Challenge, this is a fun recipe to make with the kids. They may even be able to assemble and decorate on their own (depending on age). If you are practicing healthy eating habits for kids, here is a swap out:
How to make healthy Halloween-themed snack sandwiches
Try using a whole grain or gluten-free tortilla. Any natural peanut butter, almond butter, or even my favorite healthy chocolate spread!
You can also decorate using fruit (like raisins, grapes, and kiwi) instead of candy! I love these sprinkles made with natural food dyes.
A few simple steps to a fun Halloween snack! Add a fun ghost pancake, pumpkin burger lunch, and some Halloween crafts and you can keep your little ghosts and ghouls busy all week!
