2. Cheese Witch Brooms Recipe
The brooms, along with their hats, are the most characteristic element of a witch, in addition to its method of transport, so the cat has decided to provide several so that they can visit us on Halloween night, In addition, you already know that there is no witch without a cat … black, yes! Let’s see how the cheese witch brooms are made.

3. Mini pumpkin pies, a low-sugar Halloween treat
These aren’t exactly healthy Halloween treats for kids. But they’re not so bad for you–or the kiddies–either. Low in sugar, full of pumpkin and even chia seeds, the main culprit here is that deliciously buttery pie crust. But the serving size is so small that I think we can get away with one at snack time. Or maybe two…
We made these for snack day at Phoebe’s preschool, along with the string cheese witches’ brooms and guess what? These took much longer to put together than the brooms. But they’re still worth doing, especially if you’re cooking for a crowd of tiny Halloween revelers.
Ingredients for Mini pumpkin pies
- 2 packages ready-made pie crust
- 1 12-ounce can pumpkin puree
- 3 teaspoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 cup chia seeds

7. Healthier Halloween chocolate graveyard
This healthier Halloween chocolate graveyard was made with tofu. You can make it with avocado if you don’t like tofu but since this tastes nothing like tofu we didn’t mind at all. With tofu, the consistency of the dip is a bit thicker. I have tried it with avocado as well and the consistency is smoother.
Each is equally gooing so choose whichever you like best.
An important note about making this recipe: Make sure that you drain the tofu. Just place the tofu on a plate. Place folded paper towels and a heavy book over the tofu and let it sit for 20 minutes. Water will drain to the plate.
This Healthier Halloween chocolate graveyard is pretty simple to make. If you want to wow your kids or want to make something with them this Halloween this is the perfect recipe.
Ingredients for Halloween chocolate graveyard
For the Dip
- 24 oz soft tofu, drained
- 8-10 oz dark chocolate
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
To Decorate
