The last thing kids need at a Halloween party is more calorie-filled, cavity-inducing candy to set their teeth a-chattering. These easy snacks are so eerily appetizing, young revelers will never notice the healthy ingredients — the nut-free options are especially ideal for classroom parties with junk-food restrictions.
