Halloween Party Ideas

Add a new twist to your Halloween gathering by serving some good-for-you goodies. Kid-friendly suggestions: sweet potato chips, all-natural cheese curls, popcorn, dried fruits such as apricots and cranberries, Chocolaty Pumpkin Bars , pumpkin seeds, and chocolate milk. You can even try these fruit kebabs, presented in a pumpkin!

Frighteningly Delicious Fruit Kebabs

Makes 25 kebabs

1 honeydew melon, cut into cubes
1 cantaloupe, cut into cubes
1 quart strawberries
1 small bunch seedless red or green grapes
Mini marshmallows
25 ten-inch wooden skewers

Thread fruit and marshmallows onto skewers. Stick ends into pumpkin (to make inserting the wooden skewers easier, use something like a metal meat thermometer ... or even a drill bit ... to poke the holes). For an added element, use a marker to create a funny or scary face.
