Scary snacks: Spooky foods that could put you in the Halloween spirit

Halloween is not just about the sweet stuff.

If you want to creep out your family with scary-looking treats, you need some real food, too, to counteract the inevitable sugar rush that comes with candy consumption.

Warm and flaky is always good, as is any nosh that requires dipping. And if you can work some fresh fruit or vegetables or a healthful nut butter into the mix? Even better.

We've assembled some creepy-crawly Halloween treats that have two decidedly unscary things going for them. They're assembled with everyday ingredients you probably already have in your pantry or fridge. And they require almost no effort.

All five of the scary foods can be made in five easy steps — not even that many if you don't consider turning on the oven an action that requires effort.
