Sweet & Fruity Halloween DIY Snacks
1. Boo-nanas (Frozen Banana Ghosts)
Peel bananas and cut them in half crosswise. Insert a wooden popsicle stick into the flat end of each banana. Dip them in dairy-free white chocolate or Greek yogurt, then press two mini dark chocolate chips on top to make eyes and one larger chocolate chip for an open "o" mouth. Freeze them on an eco-friendly baking mat until solid.
2. Apple Monster Bites
Quarter green apples and cut a notch out of the skin side to form a mouth. Coat the inside with peanut butter or sunflower seed butter, line the bottom with slivered almonds for sharp teeth, and place a sliced strawberry inside for a tongue. Attach candy eyes on top using a drop of nut butter!
3. Strawberry Mummies
Dip fresh whole strawberries into melted dark chocolate and let them chill. Once hardened, drizzle melted white chocolate back and forth over the berries to create mummy wraps. Finish with two tiny dark chocolate dots for eyes.

4. Pretzel-and-Cheese Witch Brooms
Take a pretzel stick and push one end gently into the top third of a pretzel-sized piece of string cheese (cut the cheese stick into thirds). Use kitchen shears to shred the bottom half of the cheese into bristles. Secure with a tiny chive tied around the cheese if desired!
5. Mummy Mini Pizzas
Top whole-wheat English muffin halves with organic tomato sauce. Lay strips of mozzarella cheese horizontally across the top to look like mummy bandages. Place two sliced black olives near the top to serve as eyes and bake at 375°F (190°C) until the cheese is melted.
6. Clementine "Pumpkins"
Peel several clementines or satsuma oranges, keeping them whole. Cut a small piece of celery stalk or fresh cucumber stick and press it gently into the top center of each orange to serve as a green pumpkin stem.
7. Frankenguac Dip
Spread fresh guacamole in a rectangular dish to form Frankenstein's head. Use blue tortilla chips across the top for his hair, sour cream or vegan mayo for the white of his eyes with olive slices for pupils, and a line of black olive slices to build his mouth and scars. Keep leftovers fresh afterwards by storing them in Ecozoi Stainless Steel Airtight Leak-Proof Food Containers.

8. Spider Eggs (Deviled Eggs)
Prepare classic deviled eggs with your favorite yolk mixture. Slice black olives in half length-wise: place one half in the center of the egg yolk for the spider's body, then slice the other half into thin strips to place around it as eight spider legs.
9. Pretzel Spider Webs
Lay mini pretzel twists on parchment paper in a circular web pattern. Drizzle melted white chocolate in concentric circles across the pretzels and drag a toothpick from the center outward to create a web effect. Top with a mini chocolate chip spider!
10. Crescent Roll Sausage Mummies
Wrap thin strips of crescent roll dough around plant-based mini sausages or cocktail wieners, leaving a small opening for the face. Bake according to dough package directions, and add two dots of yellow mustard for eyes before serving.
11. Popcorn Trail Mix "Monster Mash"
Air-pop fresh popcorn and mix it with pretzel twists, pumpkin seeds (pepitas), dark chocolate chips, and dried cranberries. Serve this crunch snack in eco-friendly bowls or pack it for on-the-go snacking in Ecozoi Reusable Eco-Friendly Snacks Bags & Pouches.

Skewer giant vegan marshmallows onto pretzel rods. Use food-safe markers or melted dark chocolate to draw creepy skeleton faces on each marshmallow.
