Healthy Halloween Snack Hacks
Have a last-minute Halloween party tonight and stumped on snacks? We’ve got some easy and quick festive finger foods that will both fright and delight your ghoulish guests.
Halloween is a notoriously unhealthy holiday, with kids chowing down on chocolates and sweets while the grown-ups feast on booze and witches brews. So, instead of setting out even scarier snacks filled with mystery ingredients, surprise your guests both big and small with cute and creative killer creations.

Monster Burgers
When the time comes to chow down, a few simple steps can transform your basic burgers into deadly dinner monsters.
All you need:

- long thin-sliced pickles
Perfect for a last-minute Halloween party, these burgers don’t take much to transform into goofy monsters with googly eyes! Simply slice your pepper jack or cheddar cheese in a zig-zag line down the center and then place them on your guests’ burgers with the “teeth” hanging out of the bun and over the patty. Take a pickle slice and drop it out the front like a lazy tongue, adding two gourmet olives with two toothpicks.
