You know how the old song goes, “Trick or treat. Give me something good to eat.” Tactful omissions of smelling feet aside, there’s a truth to it. Halloween is a prime time for snacking, so when you’re hosting a shindig, the treats better be good. Or else.
If you want to do something more creative than the traditional cauldron of candy — without making your wallet say “Boo!” — then you know where to go: Trader Joe’s. It’s your one-stop-shop for unique autumnal fair that will delight party guests.
GOBankingRates took a look at some very good things to eat for the great price of less than $15.
Cheesy Creamy Greens & Veggies: $4.49
OK, the prospect of a veggie dip at a Halloween party — a night that is known for sweet treats galore — may seem a little scary. But this perfectly cheesy, arguably healthier and far tastier than it has any right to be dip is all but begging for a piece of warm bread or a pita chip. Put it on your table for an unexpected treat that might have a few guests even bypassing the candy bucket.
Fall Leaf Corn Tortilla Chips: $3.99
It’s just not a party in any season without chips. Halloween is no exception, so why not get in the fall spirit with these adorable, leaf-shaped tortilla chips? Ideal for cheese and veggie dips, or good for gnawing on in the raw, these chips are cheap enough for you to buy in bulk.
Double Chocolate Wafer Cookies: $3.49
Halloween is a prime time for chocolate lovers, and if you have a bowl of these chocolatey, crunchy cookies out on your table, you’ll be the ghostly host with the most — or, rather, “the boo of the ball.”
Strawberry Yogurt Flavored Coated Almonds: $3.99
Whether you bake them as the “fingernail” of a ladyfinger cookie turned witch’s finger, or simply keep them out as finger food, your Halloween treats aren’t complete without these extra sweet strawberry yogurt-coated almonds. They offer a healthy option for people who want to satiate that sweet tooth — or fang — while still staying healthy.
Milk Chocolate Covered Honeycomb Candy: $3.99
What could be better than milk chocolate candy? How about milk chocolate and honeycomb candy? Add a little elegance to your Halloween table with this seasonal-only treat, which is typically available at specialty shops or online, by finding it at Trader Joe’s for a low price.
