Keep reading to find the simple tricks to make ghosts eyes that are just right and say put for this healthy Halloween snack. Your kids will gobble up these ghosts before you can say “Boo!”

They're easy - once I figured out the trick to get those little eyes to stay put! They'd also be great at a class Halloween party at schools that don't allow any food with cane sugar (sucrose).Before your little goblins head out to spook the neighborhood, fill their tummies with some healthy fun Halloween food. This is one of my fruit ideas for a healthy Halloween snack for school lunches – pear ghosts. Also great for a healthy fruit option at a Halloween kids party or class party. Super easy!…
