Thanks to Wild Blueberries for sponsoring this post!
I’ve got a thing for eyeballs this Halloween. Because little eyeballs can transform something ordinary into a fun treat for kids.
This week I posted an idea for Mummy and Monster Apples. Today I’m sharing these Spooky Wild Blueberry Boo-Berry Snack Balls, a healthy Halloween snack I developed for Wild Blueberries. They’re simply no-bake snack balls–but a pair of candy eyeballs transforms them into a silly Halloween idea for parties and lunch boxes.
Frozen Wild Blueberries give them a deep purple hue, loads of good nutrition, and lots of natural sweetness. Get the complete recipe for Spooky Wild Blueberry Boo-Berry Snack Balls over at the Wild Blueberries blog.

These are so cute. I am going to make these for my daughter’s kindergarten class
Sally says
Hope they love them! And I’m sure it goes without saying, but be sure there are no nut allergies in the class. 🙂
Roxana says
Too cute and delicious! Bet that they are a big hit with kids.
Sally says
Yes, my kids liked the flavor a lot–and of course the eyeballs too. 🙂

Hi, is there something that is nut free that you could use instead of the raw cashews? I think this is a great treat but we aren’t allowed to send any nuts to our school. Completely nut free so unfortunately I can’t send most ball treats. Thanks
Sally says
Hi Jill–totally understand. I’ve never tried it but I wonder if the berries could be blended with Sunbutter (if that’s allowed) instead of the nuts. You may need to adjust the amount of dry ingredients if you’re adding something like Sunbutter which is a wet ingredient. Just a thought. Otherwise, if you’re looking for a Halloween treat, these apples would be great: https://www.realmomnutrition.com/2016/10/25/apple-favors-for-halloween/
