Halloween is just a day away and we all know how candies aren’t exactly healthy. What’s scarier is the number of unhealthy things that we can eat in just one night without even noticing it. But here in Radiant Peach, I always have alternatives for moments like this. Who said that healthy eaters can’t enjoy Halloween?! However, some of these recipes have chocolate… So, don’t go eating too much!
Guacamole Witch Dip
Ingredients:
- 2 large avocados
- 1/4 red onion, thinly chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- juice of 1 lime
- shredded carrots (for the hair)
- 2 green olive slices (for the eyes)
- 2 black olive slices (for the eyebrows)
- 2 slices of a mini red bell pepper (for the lips)
- 1 cornichon (for the nose)
- handful blue corn chips (for the hat)
Instructions:
- In a bowl, mash the avocado. Add the garlic, onions and lime juice and mix until well combined. Season with sea salt for flavor.
- Add the guacamole to the lower half of a serving plate.
- Create the corn chip hat first and then add the carrots for the hair.
- Assemble the face and serve!
Graveyard Mousse
Ingredients:
For the Mousse:
- 2 ripe avocados
- 8 tbsp cocoa powder
- 8 tbsp maple syrup or agave nectar
- 120 ml dairy-free milk
For the tombstone cookies:
- 175 g / 1 3/4 cup ground almonds
- 1 tbsp arrowroot powder
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tbsp agave nectar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 medium lemon
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds
For the chocolate icing:
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp agave nectar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
For the mouse:
-
Scoop the flesh out from the avocados and add to a blender, along with the cocoa powder, sweetener, and milk. Blend until smooth and creamy.
-
Divide the mousse equally and spoon into your serving glasses. Leave in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
For the cookies:
-
Preheat the oven to 180c / 350f and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
-
In a food processor or mixer, mix together the ground almonds and arrowroot powder. Add the coconut oil in a small bit at a time so it’s evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Mix in the rest of the ingredients and turn the dough out onto a board.
-
Roll the dough so it’s about 1/4 inch thick and using a small sharp knife, cut out your tombstone shapes. Or, if you have tombstone cookie cutters, even better!
-
Transfer to the baking sheet and bake for 5-8 minutes until golden brown around the edges. Leave to cool before icing.
For the icing:
-
Melt the coconut oil over a bowl of hot water. Stir in the cocoa powder, agave and vanilla extract. Leave to cool in the fridge for a few minutes.
-
Transfer the chocolate to an icing bag with a narrow nozzle, suitable for writing. Test a small amount to see if the icing is too runny. If so, return to the fridge to firm up slightly. Once it’s the perfect texture, pipe your RIP letters onto the top of the tombstone cookies and leave to set in the fridge for at least 10 minutes.
Make-A-Monster Trail Mix
Ingredients:
- 1 (.88 ounce) package candy eyeballs
- 2 cups mini pretzels
- 1 cup corn puff cereal
- 1 cup Os cereal
- 3/4 cup M&Ms
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 1/2 cup pepitas
- 1/2 cup raisins
- Anything else you want, like popcorn!
Instructions:
- Pour all ingredients into a large bowl and toss with your clean hands or a large wooden spoon. Done! I like to serve it in individual cups.
- Stores for at least a couple of weeks in a zipper bag or an airtight container.
Jack O’ Lantern Salad
Ingredients:
For the salad:
- 4 medium-sized oranges
- 2 cups green leaf lettuce, chopped
- 1 stalk celery, chopped small
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped small
- 1/4 cup peanuts
- 3 Tablespoons natural peanut butter, unsalted
- 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons brown rice vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon sriracha or hot sauce
- 2 teaspoons low-sodium tamari
- 3 Tablespoons water
- Salt, to taste
Instructions:
Salad:
- Cut the tops off of four oranges about a quarter of the way from the top. Use a knife to carefully cut around the edges of the inside of the orange. Remove as much of the orange flesh as possible and dice it, removing any seeds you find. To clean out the oranges for the rest of the way, use a handheld juicer to juice the oranges and tops. You can drink the orange juice or use it for another recipe. After the oranges are cleaned out, use a small knife to cut jack o’ lantern-style faces onto them.
- Fill each orange with some green leaf lettuce, celery, carrot, and bell pepper. Top with a pinch of peanuts and diced orange. (You will likely have more orange left over than you need.) Serve with Asian-style peanut dressing that guests can pour on their salads.
- Whisk peanut butter, toasted sesame oil, brown rice vinegar, hot sauce, tamari, and three tablespoons of water in a small bowl until smooth.
- If the dressing is too thick, add additional water (up to one tablespoon) until the dressing has reached your desired smoothness and intensity of flavor. If the dressing is too thin, add an additional teaspoon of peanut butter. Keep in mind that the dressing will thicken in the refrigerator, and don’t add additional water until you’re about to serve, if necessary. Taste the dressing and add salt, if needed.
Raspberry Mummies
Ingredients:
- 750 g puff pastry (2 x 375g/15oz package), ready rolled
- 300 g raspberries fresh or frozen
- 5 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp dairy-free milk for brushing
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 190C/375F. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment paper (or use the parchment from the pastry packet)
- Add the raspberries, lemon juice, and sugar to a pan and heat, stirring often until thawed and the raspberries break up a bit. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened slightly.
- Unroll the pastry and cut one sheet into 6 equal-sized squares, then cut each square in half to make 12 rectangles.
- Cut the other sheet of pastry into thin strips.
- Spoon the raspberry sauce onto the rectangles, avoiding the outer edge.
- Add dough strips decoratively to look like mummies, and gently press the edges to seal.
- Brush with the dairy-free milk and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden. Serve warm or cold and decorate with edible eyes
These recipes would be extra fun if you have kids or have friends and family who are kids at heart. Not only that, but they’re healthier than your average Halloween treats that consist of nothing else but sugar. Now, all that’s left is for you to enjoy Halloween!
My younger cousins would definitely enjoy this. Everything looks cute and even the guacamole will be something that they will enjoy.
Hope you and your little cousins enjoyed Halloween, Regina!
Great recipes! I honestly don’t want pies for Halloween anymore so I’m looking for better options.
Awww these are so adorable. The easiest to do here is the Make-A-Monster. Super cute ideas!
I like the raspberry mummies. Actually, you can cook or bake almost anything and add the edible eyes and they’re Halloween treats already.
Hahaha, great idea. Just not soup!
The Jack O’ Lantern is for adults. My kids would hate that even if it’s disguised as a Jack O’ Lantern. ?
Nice ideas for Halloween. I’m already starting to dread sugary candies.?
Thank you so much that this isn’t full of chocolate.
Adorable recipes. They’re perfect ? My friends and I usually get together during Halloween nights instead of partying… Yeah, because we feel so old already and we could no longer handle late nights.
Not planning to prepare this for trick or treat because it can be quite time consuming. But this is perfect for those who host parties.
Yes, it’ only for party hosting. Kids will hate you if you give them guacamol for trick or treat.
I really like that trail mix make a monster. You can just put the ingredients on another serving container and ask people to arrange it the way the like it.?
I’m so ready for Halloween because of these recipes. ?
I prefer not adding M&M’s to the trail mix. I know, that spoils the fun, but I don’t want to feel guilty eating too much of those.
I’m a home buddy so I don’t really enjoy going to parties. However, I really enjoy making something that will help me enjoy the Halloween spirit. These are perfect, plus factor that they’re healthy!
This is perfect with our pumpkin jello shots for Halloween. My friends and I could use a healthy touch to our party menu.
Enjoy Halloween night with these recipes, Erma!
Nice! Healthy recipes to the next level. Halloween for me is dreadful because I treat that entire day as my cheat day. Now, I don’t even have to.
I’m saving this recipe so I can do this every year.
These are very amazing. It won’t hurt for my little ones to try something that’s a little healthy than the usual.
My thoughts exactly. There are times that I really want to switch chocolate balls to grapes!
These are some truly unique ideas! I love Halloween because you dress up put make up on, make yummy treats and eat candy go trick or treating . No other Halloween is this much of fun!
LOVED THEM! I was kinda strugling with vegan Halloween treats being to hard to make but those are some easy fantastic ones!! A massive thank you and Happy Halloween!
Wow! You’re so good! Great job with those! Something I made one Halloween was vanilla cake balls covered in white frosting, then I took a thin paintbrush and with food coloring, added a black dot for a pupil and little red veins up the sides. The turnout was amazingly creepy yet incredibly tasty.
I love your blog posts and went vegan myself in may 2016. veganize it! amazing halloween recipes. can you try make seitan? thanksgiving is coming up it might be a great turkey substitute.
Fun and delicious recipes! Looks so good! Happy Halloween everyone! I judge the strength of the economy based on what type of candy and treats people hand out on Halloween ?
This was excellent – especially the Jack O’ Lantern Salad looked amazing! Happy Halloween & All Saints’ Day!
I know a 6 year old boy that ❤️ loves good vegan Halloween treats ( my son ?) and would ❤️ love for me to make these! Thanks.
The chocolate graveyard mousse looks amazing ? Unfortunately I’m writing my uni final exams on Halloween
Ohhh the graveyard mousse!! My friend served those at her party, looked yummy but I couldn’t get a taste. Still sad that I didn’t get to taste this one because my stomach was already full of the other yummies ? Going to follow your recipe to make my own.
OH MY GOD THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR THESE RECIPES! I’m going to a Halloween Party today but one of my friends who is going is a vegan and I really wanted to make her some food for the party so she’s not left out. This is honestly a life saver! I’ve been looking all week!
Chocolate mousse is my specialty! It was the thing I would serve in parties! It’s so easy and cheap to make! It is so easy to double too, especially if there are many guests coming!
I love these ideas! The recipes are amazing and so well explained – will be making some soon for sure! Keep up the good work! ?✌?
So cute! I work at a preschool and need to bring in a treat for the kids! They are going to love these!

These are awesome! I can actually use some of these ideas even outside Halloween, because I have to provide snacks after events we do every other Tuesday night, so these are some great options!
These are really cute ideas! I always hated the gross looking Halloween snacks, and these are some really cute snacks i could stomach. Their sooo cute!
I honestly can’t wait to actually try these recipes! 😀 really creative ideas! Really got me into the Halloween spirit 🙂
After a few years of becoming vegan, I struggled to like dairy-free alternatives to baking ingredients. It didn’t taste as good as the regular ones so I just tried avoiding any food that needs to have dairy.?
Try other brands if one doesn’t make you happy. It’s not all that bad if you get used to it.
They all look so delicious. I’m making some right now of every single one. about 2 hours ago i had no idea what to prepare for tonight! so thank you!
Such fabulous Halloween treats!! I love your creative ideas 🙂 That graveyard mousse looks like the bomb!!
Oh my goodness! You’re always delivering, and never failing! Such epicly fun ideas! Happy Halloween ??☠️?
Awesome treats! I’m hanging out with my friends tonight for Halloween and we’re making snacks so these will be great .
Very cute and spooky treats. Perfect for kids especially when you don’t want them to keep eating chocolate and candies for Halloween.?
I’m so excited for Halloween because of this. Every year we have a small get together for Halloween and I can’t think of creative snacks!
My boyfriend approves of this recipe. Guess what the girlfriend is making this Halloween! Can’t wait to stuff these yummy treats down my mouth ????
Too late for this year but I’m totally making these next year if I have a Halloween party, I’ll also serve these treats!
I’m throwing a Halloween party for my friends tonight and you were a big help. It’s gonna be lit ?? like a jack o lantern ?
I don’t understand how someone can come up with so many creative ways of making their food look so cute ?

What I love about the make-a-monster trail mix is that you can explore your options and not just limit it to trail mix. ?
Too much yummy goodness ?? I’m not even vegan but I can’t wait to make these! ???

The Witch Dip looks amazing! Spook-tacular treat for the spookiest parties of the year ?
Mousse and avocado? That’s one unique combination. I love avocados though! WIll try this.?
It’s actually really good. Depending on how ripe your avocado is, it can be naturally sweet as it is.
That guacamole witch is so adorable. What a perfect center piece for the Halloween party table!!!
This made me crave sweets even though I was trying to aim for something healthy.
I want to eat all of this. It’s creepily appetizing. ?
That Graveyard Mouse is so cute. I think I need to buy shot glasses for that though.
I think I prefer the Jack O’ Lantern salad to be a fruit salad.?
everything about this was amazing! well done! i won’t wait until next Halloween to try these. gotta give em a try asap!
Is it okay to make these ahead? If so, what is the procedure for storage?
