We’ve been busy bees in the kitchen creating spooky-cute treats with a naturally sweet honey twist — perfect for little hands and grown-up cravings alike.
From quick Jack-O’-Lantern fruit cups and ghost chips to our family fave — Honey Caramel Dipped Apples — there’s something for everyone.
Whether you’re after last-minute ideas you can whip up in minutes or some sneaky refined-sugar-free bakes, we’ve got you covered this Halloween. 🍯🎃
🍯 Honey Caramel Dipped Apples
These are a total hit with the kids — soft, chewy, and way easier (and kinder on teeth!) than traditional toffee apples. Plus, they’re refined-sugar-free, naturally sweetened with Mānuka honey. 🙌
You’ll need:
🍎 6 medium apples (chilled)
🍯 1 cup Mānuka honey
🥛 1 cup thickened cream
How to make:
-
In a saucepan, combine honey and cream over medium heat. Keep an eye on it — it bubbles up fast!
-
Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer until the mix turns golden.
-
Remove from heat, let it thicken 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Insert sticks (or use clean twigs from the garden for rustic charm 🌿) and dip each apple to coat.
-
Set on baking paper and pop in the fridge to chill.
💛 Mum Tip: The caramel will be a bit thinner than usual — if it runs too much, let it cool slightly before dipping again. Or skip the sticks and dip apple slices for an easier, share-friendly version!
🍊 Jack-O’-Lantern Fruit Cups
Cute, quick, and totally lunchbox-friendly — these are the easiest Halloween treats ever!
Perfect for morning tea, after-school snacks, or popping into lunchboxes for a little spooky surprise.
Grab a few mandarins or oranges and let the kids loose with a non-toxic marker to draw their own funny Jack-O’-Lantern faces. It’s a zero-mess, five-minute activity that doubles as a healthy treat!
💛 Mum Tip: Great way to sneak fruit into the mix while keeping the sugar rush at bay.
👻 Ghost Chips
These spooky little chips are the ultimate five-minute Halloween snack — fun for the kids, secretly healthy, and perfect for dipping! 🥑✨
All you need is a wrap or tortilla, a little oil, and your kids’ imagination.
How to make:
-
Cut your wraps into ghost (or bat!) shapes — let the kids help with cookie cutters.
-
Brush lightly with oil and lay on a baking tray.
-
Grill for 1–2 minutes each side until golden and crispy.
-
Cool slightly, then serve warm with your favourite dip — guac, hummus, or salsa all work a treat!
💛 Mum Tip: Sprinkle with herbs or a pinch of cinnamon sugar for a sweet-and-spooky twist. Perfect for lunchboxes, movie nights, or after-school munchies.
🍯 Monster Bars
The ultimate mum win — these no-bake peanut butter rice bubble bars are all-natural, refined-sugar-free, and take just five minutes to make. Perfect for a quick after-school snack or a fun Halloween treat. 👻💚
You’ll need:
🥜 ½ cup natural peanut butter
🍯 ½ cup Mānuka honey
🍚 3 cups rice bubbles
How to make:
-
Warm peanut butter and honey together in a small pot (or microwave for 30 seconds) until smooth.
-
Stir in rice bubbles until fully coated.
-
Press into a lined 8x8 tin, chill for 1 hour in the freezer (or 3–4 hours in the fridge).
-
Slice into bars and store in the fridge for up to two weeks.
💛 Mum Hack: Enjoy them plain or turn them into Monster Bars — dip in melted white chocolate, add a smear of green icing, and finish with candy eyes. Cute, spooky, and kid-approved!
