Babybel Cheese Monsters: Cute & Healthy Halloween Snack

A Spooky (But Healthy!) Halloween Snack

Halloween is usually all about candy—but sometimes it’s nice to have a festive snack that’s still fun and a little more nutritious. If you’re looking for healthy Halloween snacks, that’s where Babybel Cheese Monsters come in.

They take just minutes to make, and the best part is there’s no cooking involved—just a little peeling, cutting, and decorating. They’re perfect for school class parties, Halloween lunchboxes, or as a healthy option on your party table. Kids love them because every monster looks a little different (silly, spooky, or just plain goofy), and parents love them because they pack in protein and calcium. Win-win.

Ingredients & Supplies You’ll Need

• Babybel cheese rounds (the classic red wax ones work best) are ideal for making healthy Halloween-themed delights.
• Candy eyes (or small edible eyes made from frosting, chocolate chips, or olives)
• Scissors or a small paring knife (to shape the wax)
  

Optional add-ons:

• Mini pretzel sticks (for horns or monster hair)
• Olive slices or bits of nori (for mouths) as part of your healthy Halloween treats.
• Food-safe markers (to draw scars, stitches, or eyebrows)
  

How to Make Babybel Cheese Monsters

1. Prep the Cheese – Unwrap each Babybel, but keep the red wax coating intact.
   
2. Make Monster Faces – Use scissors or a paring knife to cut little shapes into the wax—zigzags, triangles, or circles—to let the cheese show through. Think sharp teeth or funny grins, perfect for creating healthy Halloween snacks.
3. Add the Eyes – Stick candy eyes onto the wax with a dab of cream cheese, peanut butter, or honey. (If you’re just making them for looks on a party platter, you can use googly craft eyes instead.)
   
4. Customize – Get creative! Add pretzel “horns,” olive slice mouths, or use food markers to draw extra details.
   
5. Serve & Enjoy – Arrange your Babybel monsters on a platter and watch them disappear. These healthy Halloween snacks will be a hit!

Tip: If making for a classroom party, prep them ahead of time and store in the fridge until serving.
