Here’s a couple of healthy Halloween spreads the kids and grandkids will love to help you create!

With Halloween parties set to be more popular that ever, cheese snack brands Babybel and The Laughing Cow, have teamed up with Eats Amazing to create a healthier twist on traditional Halloween treats. Babybel and The Laughing Cow is available from Waitrose, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Ocado.

Witches’ Hats Platter

1. Dip Laughing Cow cheese triangles in poppy seeds and top each one with a strip of yellow pepper to make witches’ hats.
2. Carve spooky faces into the wax of mini Babybel cheeses and top with a pretzel stick stalk to make pumpkins.
3. Make cuts along a strip of tortilla wrap and wrap around half a breadstick to make a broomstick. Tie together with chives.
4. Cut cherry tomatoes in half, scoop out the flesh and fill with Laughing Cow cheese. Top with slices of black olives to make eyeballs.
5. Fill a small bowl with guacamole for a cauldron.
6. Place all your witchy foods on a large platter or tray and fill in the gaps with cucumber slices, green grapes, cherry tomatoes, baby carrots and blueberries.

Pumpkin and Spider Platter

1. Remove wax from mini Babybel Cheeses. Break pretzel sticks into small pieces and push them into the sides of the cheese for spider legs. Finish the spiders with slices of black olives for eyes.
2. Remove packaging from Laughing Cow cheese triangles and pop into a disposable piping bag. Snip off the end and pipe cheese ‘bandages’ over crackers to make mummies. Finish the mummies with black olive slice eyes.
3. Peel clementines and insert cucumber sticks to make pumpkins.
4. Use Laughing Cow cheese to stick edible eye sprinkles to baby peppers and cherry tomatoes to make monster veggies.
5. Place all your spooky Halloween foods on a large platter or tray and fill in the gaps with cucumber sticks, black grapes and blueberries.
