Easy Halloween Treats For Kids | Apple Marshmallow Teeth

Halloween is right around the corner! Have you got all your tricks and treats ready?

I just signed up to bring treats for my son’s Halloween party at school. I was glad that his teacher asked parents for one nutritious snack and one not-so-nutritious snack.

I know just what to make to fit the bill. Check out these fun ideas for easy Halloween treats kids love.

First up: Vampire Doughnuts. This is a not-so-nutritious but totally delicious Halloween treat in case you were wondering.

Vampire doughnuts Halloween party food is so easy to make using bakery doughnuts. Simply stick a set of fake vampire teeth in the doughnut’s hole, and gently press two candy eyes into place.

For a delicious, healthier Halloween snack option, make these easy Apple Marshmallow Mouths.

CREST HALLOWEEN SURVEY RESULTS

Crest surveyed parents about Halloween, kids, and candy. Take a sneak peek at 3 of my favorite survey statistics.

86% of parents eat candy that was given to their child while trick or treating.

I AM SO GUILTY OF THIS! 

Over 50% of parents admitted they snuck a few pieces of candy from their children’s candy stash without them noticing.

JUST 50% !?! I THOUGHT ALL PARENTS DID THIS! 

Seven in 10 parents enforce a stricter teeth brushing and flossing routine on Halloween, and 41% compensate for Halloween candy by serving a healthier dinner on the holiday itself or the next night.

THIS IS A GOOD ONE TO BE GUILTY OF. Parents, please make sure your child brushes their teeth (with Crest toothpaste) before they go to bed on Halloween night. 

Have a safe and fun Halloween this year! Comment below and let me know, what are you looking forward to most about Halloween?
